This week we revisit our Conversation with Lacey Schwartz. Lacey is the director and subject of Little White Lie,
a riveting, powerful, emotional documentary that traces her upbringing
as an only child in a white, Jewish family in upstate New York. However,
it was during her freshman year in college that she learned the truth.
When confronted, her mother finally acknowledged having had an
extra-marital affair...and that her biological father was in fact,
black. Lacey, who is also the CEO of Truth Aid, a company that makes
movies, produces multi-media content and performs educational outreach
on social issues, makes for a fascinating conversation.

The world needs more women like musician and social activist Sharon Katz. Born and raised during South Africa's apartheid regime, and inspired by by Nelson Mandela's release from prison, she made history of her own...bringing together 500 black, white, colored and Indian children to form the country's first ever multi-cultural and multi-lingual choir. She took that musical message all over South Africa, and what followed was Sharon Katz and The Peace Train. She continues to spread the message of peace and reconciliation through performances and workshops around the world - the story documented in the film, When Voices Meet.

This week we revisit our conversation with Sabriye Tenberken - a woman who
gives new meaning to activism and inspiration. Born in Cologne,
Germany, she became blind at age 12. A trip to Tibet as a young adult
was life-changing. Sabriye, along with Paul Kronenberg, founded Braille Without Borders,
a world-wide organization that creates training programs and Braille
book printing houses. The two are also the co-directors and co-founders
of Kanthari, an international institute for social visionaries based in Kerala, South India.

This week we revisit our conversation with Wendy Crawford. On a summer day in 1984, while driving to the airport for her first international modeling gig, 19 year old Canadian Wendy Crawford was
hit by a drunk driver. Wendy never walked again. As she struggled to
come to terms with life as a quadriplegic, Wendy saw the need to develop
a way to raise awareness of, and become an advocate for, women facing
physical challenges. So, in 2002, she founded mobileWomen.org, an online
magazine that provides information and a community for women in
wheelchairs. Her story is one we all need to hear.
