Today we’re joined by Mary Bizot Johnson, who served as a Political Officer in the U.S. Foreign Service for 22 years. Her work as a U.S. diplomat took her primarily through tours of service in Africa and Korea. A highlight of her career was organizing a conference to raise awareness of the human trafficking of women and children in Asia.

She was a missionary in Africa for the Unification movement from 1975-1991, which she joined at 23. From an interest in science and nature at a younger age, her work through the Unification movement led to a shift in trying to address the world’s issues from the mind to the heart.

Mary has two children and four lovely grandchildren.
