What is Authentic Resilience?
Authentic Resilience is not just bouncing back from adversity. It’s about bouncing forward to higher levels of strength and authenticity.
From Refugee Camps to World Stages
Dr. Clementine’s journey is a testament to the power of resilience. A survivor of the Rwandan genocide, she was forced to cultivate a deep, genuine resilience to endure such harrowing circumstances. Today, Dr. Clementine is a beacon of inspiration, sharing the valuable lessons she learned throughout her journey, enabling both individuals and businesses to not just survive, but to flourish.
Her exceptional contributions have been recognized with numerous accolades, including the Voice of the Year Award in 2016, the Women in Action Award, and the esteemed Lifetime Presidential Achievement Award from President Joe Biden. Her influence extends beyond the awards; she has featured in business magazines alongside prominent figures like Mark Cuban and Jeff Bezos and has shared stages with celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Cheryl Crow, and Aisha Tyler.
The story of Dr. Clementine is marked by extraordinary persistence and determination, beginning with her escape from the war-torn environment of Rwanda at just eight years old. Rather than succumbing to the hardships of a refugee life over the next five years, she quickly matured, adopting the responsibilities typically reserved for adults.

Rather than succumbing to the hardships of a refugee life over the next five years, she quickly matured, adopting the responsibilities typically reserved for adults.
Her journey didn’t stop upon her arrival in the United States in 1999. Here, she faced new challenges, including the stigma of being perceived as ‘different’ and enduring bullying during her high school years. But instead of letting these adversities shape her, she used them as fuel to keep her motivation burning brightly.
A poignant chapter in her life was the heartbreaking loss of her daughter, Clarette. Transforming her grief into action, she established the Clarette Refugee Fund, aimed at providing educational opportunities to young refugees.
What sets Dr. Clementine apart are not only her remarkable achievements but her consistent ability to convert adversity into a driving force for empowerment. Her speaking career, which began in her college years, has taken her across the globe, touching and inspiring many with her story. Her audiences gain not just insight into a survivor’s journey, but also an empowering message that any hardship, however daunting, can be a catalyst for profound gratitude and personal growth.
Dr. Clementine’s vibrant personality and engaging delivery create an unforgettable experience, leaving a lasting impact on everyone who has the privilege of hearing her speak.
