Jeanne Celestine Lakin - Rwandan genocide survivor's story - forgiveness, joy & the human condition

Rwandan genocide survivor, Jeanne Celestine Lakin, was only 9 years old when she managed against all odds to make it through one of the most horrific genocides in history. Jeanne's story is a tale of heroism, cruelty, propaganda, trust in God, the lowest lows and the highest highs that humanity can reach.

I honestly was a little nervous about this interview. I had read her book, A Voice in the Darkness, which is an amazing read that I highly recommend. (See how to order the book below)

Rape, abuse, being orphaned and witnessing the genocide of her people didn't break her; it transformed her into a forgiveness and love machine. Jeanne is a living testimony to the strength and resilience of the human spirit. I have never been more honored and uplifted by a guest.

One Million Orphans is the name of Jeanne's foundation.

Betsy Dewey

Betsy Dewey is the founder of Freedom Junkie Radio, author, speaker, prepper, rugged individualist, risk taker, Constitutionalist and freedom advocate who thrives outside her comfort zone. She believes in the power of TRUE freedom - off grid, growing your own food, having your children at home, schooling them at home, taking charge of your health, education and wealth, setting yourself financially free, and living the life of your dreams. Her confidence is contagious and Betsy’s friends call her happy, passionate and intense - yet relaxed.

Betsy has two books in the pipeline at present - Take Life by the Horns - Finding success, happiness, freedom, and true fulfillment in life,
and a new book born from her experience in the frozen tundra of Texas 2021; it's called The Smug Prepper - How we thrived during the Texas power outage of 2021, what we learned, and how we're prepping now.
