Sonia Gisa: The Survival Of The Soul

Hello everybody and welcome to the third series of the Human Podcast, a place to hear extraordinary human stories that celebrate the limitless potential of human beings.  Sonia Gisa is a model, actress and author of the extraordinary memoir, Slaughter Baby. Sonia was born in Rusenga in Rwanda, when she was three years old in 1994, she and her family lived through the 100 day Rwandan Genocide that from the 7th April to the 15th July that year, saw the murder over 1.1million Rwandan people, including the assasiation of her beloved father and the death of her baby brother.  Sonia is now an international model and actress  living in London. Her experience tells the story of our human capacity for terror, courage, resilience, love and forgiveness in a way I have never personally had the privilege to encounter before. Sonia’s story is one of profound grief and loss… and of survival, both in the most literal sense and also in the survival of the soul…of a person who sees the world in all its beauty and wonder even after having lived through and beyond one the most unspeakable human atrocities in modern history. So if the world is feeling like a dark or difficult place, join us, and let your heart be ignited by the fire of the human spirit. Created and hosted by Jess MillsCreative co-production by Bonny TydemanProduced by Joel Porter - Dot Dot Dot Productions Hosted on Acast.
