Presentations

Antibullying

Bullying is a huge problem which grows bigger and bigger everyday. As a person that was bullied, I can speak on the effects of bullying. It is important that schools tackle bullying and put an end to it.

Diversity Staff Development

Institutions are becoming more and more diverse. With immigrants coming from all parts of the world, it is crucial for educators and institutions that deal with immigrants to be educated on how to approach them and embrace the beauty of diversity.

The Terrifying Beauty of Pain

Pain and suffering can lead to great things if you do it right. This presentation focuses on ways in which pain and suffering are part of personal and spiritual growth. Painful experiences build us and take us to the next level of humanity.

You are a Masterpiece Workshop

Being happy is a matter of knowing what your calling is. Each one of us has a purpose in this world. The sooner you know what your purpose is the sooner you will live a more fulfilling life. This is a workshop/seminar that examines the various gifts we have uniquely been given upon birth. In this workshop, you will, learn what motivates you, be encouraged in your calling and appreciate others’ uniqueness

Happily Broken

At the age of eight, bullets shot past her head as her mother and youngest siblings piled into a car. Not enough room left for the rest of the family, Clementine and her brothers walked beside the vehicle as bombs exploded beside them. Bodies fell to the ground. Dead. You were lucky if you survived without a wound of some kind. With no time to stop and mourn those you love, the exodus from war-torn Rwanda was a chaotic and terrifying experience. Especially for a child like Clementine Bihiga. Clementine wrote Happily Broken; Discovering Happiness through Pain and Suffering not to preach to people, but to come beside them as a friend who cares—as a friend who has traveled through the fire and come out on the other side. Free. Does she have scars? Of course, but she’s here to tell you that scars can be beautiful. Pain and suffering can be beautiful if embraced with a full heart and genuine faith.
