The daughter of Bishop Desmond Tutu, says, “It takes courage and the willingness to speak and hear the truth. The first step of healing is so often the hardest. We are afraid to speak our truth for fear of judgment and rejection. We are also afraid to hear truths that might question our images of ourselves”.

South Africa's Truth & Reconciliation Commission is a proven model for Hon. Naomi Tutu to present how we can begin to heal as individuals and a society. “Rather than focus on what separates us”, she encourages us to “focus on our shared humanity in order to build a just world”.

A Nobel Peace Prize nominee, has a heartfelt message of forgiveness, tolerance, and empowerment. “The suffering in this world is manmade, and each of us has the ability to speak out and challenge it”, states Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish.

Losing 3 daughters and a niece to violence, Dr. Abuelaish could easily have become a vengeful person. But he calls the destruction hate always brings, "a poison, a disease, a fire that eats the one who carries it." To honor and give meaning to his loss, Dr. Abuelaish established The Daughters for Life Foundation, which is dedicated to providing education, health, and leadership courses, so that other girls can live out the dreams of his daughters and their cousin.
