During Shabbat dinner we are honored to welcome Providence (Umugwaneza) Nkurunziza of Fort Worth serves as a commissioner on the Texas Holocaust, Genocide, and Antisemitism Advisory Commission (THGAAC) and is the founder of the Kabeho Neza Initiative. She is a survivor of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, where she lost her parents, five siblings, and numerous extended family members. Two of Providence's uncles and their entire families were victims of the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, thus she lives to be their voice and speak about what they endured.

Providence volunteers with fellow Rwandan Genocide survivors to advocate for the women and girls who were assaulted and infected with HIV/AIDS during the genocide. She currently leads educational programs in the United States to educate and raise awareness. She recently authored a memoir, Next Couple Hours, which focuses on education about the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, dealing with loss and trauma, and, most importantly, preventing genocides from happening in the future.
Nkurunziza received a bachelor’s degree in Administrative Science from the University of Kigali in Rwanda.
