This conversation was recorded in 2015 and is shared with her family's permission. Listen in as Simone answers the following:

"Do you think we are making any progress?"

"Simone, let's talk a little bit about your reputation of being a cage rattler. Why do you thing the world needs to put itself out there a little more."

"You've spend 40 years doing this. WHY? What do you love so much about this work?" 

Simone Joyaux was a trailblazer, rabble rouser, teacher, writer, movie lover, reader and tirelessly worked to improve and build the charitable sector.
