The Girl Who Smiled Beads is the powerful memoir of Clemantine Wamariya, who fled the Rwandan genocide at the age of six with her sister. Their journey took them through seven African countries and refugee camps before they were granted asylum in the United States.
Wamariya recounts not only the horrors of displacement and survival but also the complexities of rebuilding a life in a new land while coping with trauma. Her story is both harrowing and inspiring—a reflection on identity, resilience, and the struggle to find belonging in a fractured world.
