Breakfast with Kenza Isnasni: From Hatred to Resilience

How do we rebuild after horror — and choose clarity and purpose over despair?

In 2002, a racist attack in Schaerbeek took the lives of Kenza Isnasni’s parents and shaped her life forever. Two decades later, she has turned that trauma into a force for peace, leadership and civic engagement. With studies in International Relations, Peace and Conflict Studies and Environmental Diplomacy, and experience from UC Berkeley to the American University of Kosovo, she has spent years travelling, building social and eco-entrepreneurial projects, and developing a practical method of resilience in the service of the common good.

Returning to Belgium, she founded the Habiba-Ahmed Foundation,  supported by Princess Esmeralda of Belgium, a space dedicated to remembrance, dialogue and collective growth. 

At this intimate breakfast, Kenza will share how to turn adversity into strategic clarity, transform pressure into action, and cultivate resilience as both a personal anchor and a collective power. A conversation about courage, emotional intelligence and the quiet discipline required to lead in turbulent times.

Breakfast includes: viennoiseries, yoghurt, fruit, granola, overnight oats, chia pudding, fresh juices, tea and coffee.
