How often have you thought, "I'm just one Voice. How can I make an impact?"
Turns out, your one Voice may affect more change than you could ever imagine.
On the season finale, of ARRIVED. celebrating Women's History Month, I speak with my old friend, anti-racism and mother-and-baby home campaigner, Marguerite Penrose, about how she's used her Voice to affect legislative change – and reach over two million people in the process.
Tune in to hear Marguerite's story of growing up in a mother-and-baby home in Dublin; how she's using her Voice to raise awareness for the rights of adopted children who were raised in Ireland's mother-and-baby homes; her experience being Black in a mostly all-white community in 1970s Ireland; and how a single act of telling her story has now led to Marguerite's Voice being published in an overwhelmingly powerful article on the BBC, garnering over two million reads.
Marguerite also shares her tips for using your Voice to affect true change, and make an impact on your audience.
Marguerite is an Irish-Zambian Anti-Racism and Mother and Baby Home campaigner based near Dublin, Ireland. She is also a Meditation, Reiki Master & Teacher. While Marguerite was born with congenital scoliosis, she is a true lover of life, of people – and a self-professed positivity queen!
