“Lili Fournier is a courageous visionary. A strong example of how passion and vision and commitment can be amazing change agents. She played a leading role in pioneering spirituality across America with her Quest TV specials, which offered timely and timeless wisdom. She is a woman of high moral authority, whom I have been privileged to support and champion.”

- Stephen Covey, Seven Habits of Highly Effective People

I have met Lili Fournier. I am impressed with all that she has achieved thus far and want to support her. I have agreed to be the honorary patron of the Women’s Day Live concert. We believe the concert will be an historic occasion to celebrate the expanding role of women, and raise much needed funds to help the plight of women and children during this severe Global Humanitarian Crisis.

BELIEVE IN THE POSSIBLE

The world is undergoing its own dark night of the soul, on the brink of terrifying possibilities. Given that tyranny is knocking, the very future of our rights and freedoms are at stake. Democracy requires each of us to be eternally vigilant. We each must find the spiritual courage to live with an open heart, to break through our fears and to stand up for our values. Most of all we have to care and do our part to save the American dream.

Lili Fournier has lived her life with an intense passion for the possible and a powerful belief and commitment to her dreams. It is her hope that the wisdom and the powerful inspiration from some of the World’s foremost spiritual and business leaders she was so fortunate to feature in the Quest TV specials on PBS will help each of you to rise to these challenging times and to face the future with renewed strength, faith and courage. She invites you to take the Heroic Quest Journey. It will change you.

She hosted, produced and directed the Quest series of specials, which played a visionary role in pioneering the mind/body connection and spiritual programs on broadcast TV. Each show was a miracle and a labor of love. The first show on PBS, “Discovering Your Human Potential” was considered revolutionary at the time and the Quest became a leading voice in the human potential movement. The audience response was phenomenal. So many people said it changed their lives. That it gave them the courage to follow their dreams.

Lili has learned a thing or two about risk and adversity and overcoming hard challenges. She knows what it takes to achieve big goals, rising to the top of her field in several successful careers. Her courageous persistence helped her achieve her dream of producing the Quest. Her passion was to inspire and help people to fulfill their own destinies, to grow through adversity and times of struggle. To never ever ditch their dreams.

Love is the power. Love is the motivator.

We are here to grow a Movement for the future benefit of humanity.

Having seen the power of media to impact social change with my own Quest shows on PBS, I dedicated my life to produce Women’s Day Live, a live global annual benefit concert on International Women’s Day, and World Girls Day on the International Day of the Girl. We would galvanize a global movement to accelerate investment in girls’ education and women’s economic freedom. World Leaders just made a commitment in 2024 to alleviate poverty by empowering women. It’s time to deliver on promises. Women and children are the hardest hit by this catastrophic global hunger crisis.

I thought if we could organize a global communications network over the years to align women’ voices, power and leadership and harness the power of celebrity, media and technology to impact the culture we might avoid this dystopian future which was revealed to me in a powerful prophetic vision on 9/11. Given the stakes could not be higher, I could never give up on this mission to be ready with a plan to save the future.  I call it my ‘magnificent obsession’. It’s taken outrageous courage to keep going. I have given away everything I owned for this mission. I am praying for a miracle now.

We need an emergency mindset. International collaboration is at the heart of this urgent Mission. “Given this is an 'open hearts to serve the world in a time of crisis' campaign, UNOCHA …could help lead this”. Tensai Asfaw, helps lead the United Nations Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

It’s more important than ever to bring the world together to lend a helping hand. The power of music could not be more important than in this time of pain and loss on a global scale. As Gandhi said, ‘poverty is the worst kind of violence’. This is a race to save lives. Given the demise of USAID, millions are dying needlessly. I do not want to live in a cruel and heartless world. Where is our humanity?

We need the powerful economic players to step up. I’ve been chasing them for 15 years. I have come close five times to achieving this historic mission. We invite people of vision and heart to help. We are all responsible for the world we find ourselves in. We can no longer turn a blind eye. You can tell a great deal about a civilization and what it values by where it puts its money. This is our moment of truth as a human family.

As my dear mentor and Patron of Women’s Day Live, Archbishop Desmond Tutu of blessed memory always said, “Let’s make this humanity’s finest hour”.

Together we have Enormous Collective Power to Ignite Systemic Change

"We must stand up for the world’s women and children at this critical tipping point in history. We have to choose courage over comfort and be willing to do what it takes. The stakes could not be higher". - Lili Fournier

The very future of humanity depends on what we do now.
