- Person
Jenny Munezero was born in Burundi in 1993. Shortly after she was born, the Burundian Civil War began and her parents fled to Tanzania, leaving her behind. When she was two months old, her home was attacked; Munezero was the only survivor. Neighbors brought her to her parents in the Kanembwa refugee camp in Tanzania. Munezero's mother died the day after giving birth to Munezero's younger sister, and her father remarried a few years later. In 2007, her family was resettled in Beaverton, Oregon. In 2018, she earned a bachelor's degree in business management from Portland State University. In 2019, she and Innocent Irakoze were married.
