Warriors at Work Summer Series - Leadership and Life Lessons with Sr Marilyn Lacey
Let’s kick off INSPIRATION by re-sharing my conversation with Sr. Marilyn Lacey, RSM, Founder of Mercy Beyond Borders. Get ready to be challenged, inspired and moved to tears! Mercy Beyond Borders is a global organization that is forging ways for women and girls in extreme poverty to learn, connect and lead. Sr. Marilyn shares incredible stories of courage, determination and divinity in this conversation. It was a priviledge to provide a platform for Sr. Marilyn to share her story and the stories of so many women who are changing their lives through education and advocacy.
Sr. MARILYN LACEY, a Sister of Mercy, is passionate about making the world a more welcoming place. She’s been working with displaced peoples since 1981. Although she holds a Master’s Degree in Social Welfare from UC Berkeley and 4 honorary doctorates, she insists that the poor have been her best teachers. In 2001 Marilyn was personally honored by the Dalai Lama as an “unsung hero of compassion.” For two decades Marilyn directed the refugee and immigration programs for Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County, CA. She has also worked in refugee camps overseas.
(1:28) Sr. Marilyn shares her story with us and why she has chosen this work.
(8:40) We learn about actionable tools that Sr. Marilyn shares to educate people on the impact they can have in the world.
(12:00) Sr. Marilyn shares with us the experience(s) of little girls, from South Sudan, that illustrates the positive impact her organization is having on people.
(21:56) How did the system get set up that put her organization, Mercy Beyond Borders, on a path to make a difference in other countries?
(30:01) We learn more details about the infrastructure, and the relationship with local government(s), that allows MBB to be impactful.
(33:34) What is the importance of understanding that there is no “over there”? Helping others has an impact on us locally since we are so interconnected around the world.
(38:54) A discussion about the “wrap around services” that MBB offers to ensure the girls are safe and can continue to get the education in their local countries.
(50:13) Who in Sr. Marilyn’s life are sources of support and motivation as she continues her work?
(52:37). How does Sr. Marilyn see Mercy Beyond Borders making an impact in the future?
