Episode Four of "the LOVE JUSTICE podcast" with special guests Briony Fickling and Sean Mullens with hosts Hannah Munn and Jason Dukes | LoveJustice.NGO
Description
Briony Fickling and Sean Mullens joined us for this indepth conversation about the impactful, preventative way Love Justice does “anti-trafficking” work?
Briony Fickling is the SENIOR DIRECTOR OF ANTI-TRAFFICKING for Love Justice International.
Briony started at Love Justice South Africa in 2019 as the national director for the South African organization, and she took on the role of regional steward for the Southern African countries in 2021. She is often struck by the sheer privilege and absolute joy it is to serve at Love Justice, and while she takes her job extraordinarily seriously, she believes that a good sense of humor and a good dose of fun are essential tools for thriving while on a mission like LJI's. Briony has a background in marketing and entrepreneurship that is complemented by degrees in business and social science as well as a master’s degree in development studies. She is passionate about human security in the true sense of the term, and she is dedicated to doing all she can in this lifetime to radically love and care for vulnerable people. Briony lives in Johannesburg, South Africa, where she thrives in the hustle and bustle of the capital city but delights in getting out of the concrete jungle and into nature.
Sean Mullens is the DIRECTOR OF CHAMPION RECRUITMENT and REGIONAL STEWARD for EUROPE & WEST AFRICA.
Sean was raised in Harare, Zimbabwe, and lived there with his wife, Debbie, and two children, Kate and Joe. They moved to the UK in 2019. Sean serves as part of the Love Justice International team, recruiting country champions and serving as the regional steward for West Africa and Europe. Sean was part of a church planting team in Zimbabwe and led a church in Harare, Zimbabwe, for nine years. He is passionate about missions and justice, particularly serving the poor and vulnerable. Sean developed a business training initiative, and the team has trained over 3,000 vulnerable people to start small businesses with micro-finance loans. In addition to this, he ran his own business, a team-building and leadership development consultancy, and co-founded an app-driven tech company providing a connection for those who want to work with those who need work done. Since moving to the UK, Sean has set up a charity that helps to support the ongoing work for the poor and vulnerable in Zimbabwe.
