I met Mary Ann for the first time here in Cyprus and was impressed by her charisma and confidence on stage but even more by her kindness and approachability off the stage. When I met her again recently at a Global Woman Conference in London, my impression of her was once more confirmed, she is an amazing human.

Mary Ann is the recipient of the 2018 Civic Pioneer Award, considered one of the highest recognitions given by Congress to a USA female citizen. She is a co-founder of The Memnosyne Institute with her husband, Joshua Raymond Frenk, which includes programs, FoodSourceDFW one of the leading initiatives fighting food waste in the nation (led by Rev. Dr. Todd Collier) feeding 5,000 families a day in Dallas alone and $55,077,154.00 of food saved to date.

She is also a published writer, internationally award-winning sculptor, human rights/environmental activist, social-responsible investor/conscious-capitalist and international speaker, including at the UN, White House, House of Lords, Parliament of World Religions to 3,000 people and for the 2020 Dallas Women’s March to 5,000. She led The Memnosyne Institute team in negotiating the first treaty/alliance in 300 years between Hopi and Navajo nations.

She is so much more than anything written above, find out and tune in to this episode.
