Mary Robinson

Welcome to a memoir episode of the Playing Books Podcast. What lens have you used to divide people into, and accordingly, how do you treat others based on this division? In this episode of the podcast, we discuss Mary Robinson’s memoir, Everybody Matters. We want to believe everyone is important and relevant, but in reality, we base who gets attention, opportunity, respect, and love on metrics that truly shape our beliefs, from upbringing, culture, education, and experience to wealth and subtle realities. Then, going by the belief that Everybody Matters, comes with undesirable, unfriendly, and unwelcoming consequences. Mary Robinson shares how believing that everybody is valuable isolated her, for example, her parents didn’t attend her wedding. Her dad was alive, but he didn’t walk her down the aisle. This episode is packed with practical insights and realistic lessons. You will learn how many class beliefs divide Ireland, as they do the rest of the world. Women don’t matter. Catholics are the truest of all religious denominations. There are many such conclusions that only further hurt, divide, and isolate people. Should you sit down and let these beliefs thrive and dominate? Or would you imitate Mary Robinson, challenge them from your heart, and rise to do something fundamental about these limiting stances? We encourage you to listen with the intention of fostering positive, unifying beliefs, to insist that Everybody Matters, regardless of sex, location, accent, education, money, race, or background. Mary Robinson’s memoir can serve as a guide for creating lasting change. Get it to refer to it as often as possible. You can purchase Mary Robinson’s Memoir, Everybody Matters, on Amazon , bookshop.org , and at your local bookstore. Learn how to be different, create positive changes, and treat yourself with importance and self-respect. Please, connect with other art and literature advocates on our social media: playingbooks.org YouTube Instagram Twitter TikTok Please let us know if you believe Everybody Matters. In reality, do your family, community, Church, workplace, and the like share this belief that Everybody Matters? Thank you for listening, for your time, and for being part of our memoir episode. A much better world for all through books is possible, and you are part of it. Thank you.

They talk about Mary Robinson’s harrowing trip to Somalia in 1992, and the crowning diplomatic achievement of Mary McAleese’s Presidency, the visit of Queen Elizabeth II in 2011.

In the last year, women with disabilities experienced domestic abuse at more than twice the rate of those without, according to the latest figures from the Crime Survey for England and Wales. Yet data from Women’s Aid shows less than 1% of refuge vacancies in England are suitable for wheelchair users. Where does this leave women with disabilities impacted by domestic abuse? Anita Rani hears one anonymous woman’s experience and is joined by Angie Airlie, CEO of Stay Safe East and Rebecca Goshawk, a director of Solace Women’s Aid. Mrs Robinson is a feature-length documentary about Ireland’s first female president, Mary Robinson. Telling the story of her childhood and career for the first time on screen, it was filmed over three years, and takes a deep-dive into Mary Robinson’s career as she discusses the significant controversies throughout her tenure, her own professional regrets and examines how her gift for bridging differences was instrumental in bringing about seismic change in Ireland. Mary Robinson joined Clare McDonnell to talk about it. Preet Chandi, better known as Polar Preet, broke world records in 2023 when she made the longest solo and unsupported journey across Antarctica, crossing 922 miles in 70 days. Now Preet is setting her sights on the North Pole, hoping to cross 500 miles of sea ice to reach it in under 70 days. She joined Anita to discuss why she’s making the change to the North Pole, how she plans to get there and how she plans on dealing with polar bears. Reality star turned documentary filmmaker Vicky Pattison joined Clare to discuss her latest project, Vicky Pattison: My Deepfake Sex Tape. The documentary sees her exploring the proliferation of videos generated by AI, whereby people’s faces are placed onto pornographic images and shared without their consent. Vicky talked about creating her own deepfake sex tape and looks at the impact the phenomenon is having on women and girls. The singer-songwriter Rumer is a MOBO award winner and double Brit Award nominee. Her new album In Session is out, celebrating the 15th anniversary of her platinum debut album Seasons Of My Soul.

QUOTES "I've got people's lives in my hands. You can create great good, but also great harm with any small little mishap." - Mary Robinson "It feels good to present yourself a certain way. It tells everyone around us like how much we care, not about ourselves in like an egotistical way, but like, Hey, I invest in me and I care about me." - Ken Baden “When we take pride in our health and ourselves, it makes a difference on everything, right? And his is something I feel, you know, nobody paid attention to has ever paid attention to this space. These are people that in the healthcare community that have probably some of the scarce time for self-care.” - Mary Robinson SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS Ken Baden Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/officialkenbaden/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/officialkenbaden Mary Robinson Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ave_scrubcaps/ WEBSITES: The Kitchen Table Podcast: https://thekitchentablepodcast.net/ Blue Collar Ballers Union: https://bluecollarballersunion.com/

Today, we're talking about a pursuit of well-being that impacts us all — climate health. Today's guest is Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland and the first woman to hold that elected office and former United Nations Commissioner for Human Rights. Since Robinson's tenure as Ireland's President ended in 1997, she has continued to work tirelessly to promote gender equity, human rights, and, most recently and most intensively, climate justice. Robinson speaks about the interdependence of people, animals, and the environment, and the imperative that we safeguard the health of each in order to ensure a sustainable future for world citizens and our planetary habitat.

Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Chair and founding member of the Council of Women World Leaders, and current President of the Mary Robinson Foundation Climate Change joined host, Alyse Nelson for a discussion on her experience as a woman leader in Irish politics and global organizations, mental health, and the intersection between gender and the climate crisis. Based on her years of experience, President Robinson shares why she believes that the adoption of feminist leadership practices will be crucial for future leaders tasked with solving the world’s greatest challenges. Mary has dedicated her life to public service and leads based on values she learned as an avid participant in the women’s movement. Throughout her years in public facing roles, she has shown us how women lead differently – by being a respectful, non-hierarchical, observant, and empathetic leader, she effectively amplifies the voices of those on the margins of mainstream discourse.

Claims that Denmark helped the U.S. spy on European leaders, demands for the EU to step up on defense and bellwether state elections in Germany's Saxony-Anhalt all feature in this episode. Mary Robinson is our special guest. POLITICO's Rym Momtaz and David M. Herszenhorn analyze new revelations by Danish media that the country's intelligence service reportedly helped the NSA spy on European leaders during the Obama administration, and how the news could impact U.S. President Joe Biden's visit to Europe later next week. They also debate the implications of this report by the Center for American Progress, a Washington think tank with close ties to the Biden administration, calling for the EU to become a global military power. Rym is then joined by POLITICO's Laurenz Gehrke to break down state elections this Sunday in Germany's Saxony-Anhalt, and what the result could indicate about the way the political winds are blowing heading into the country's federal elections in September. We're also joined by Mary Robinson, the former president of Ireland and currently chair of The Elders, a group of distinguished figures formed by South Africa's former President Nelson Mandela in 2007. In a conversation with POLITICO's Sarah Wheaton, they cover everything from coronavirus vaccines and climate change, to the geopolitical "rift" between the United States and China, and where Europe should fit in. Finally, Robinson recommends her own podcast — which she hosts, along with comedian-writer, Maeve Higgins, and series producer, Thimali Kodikara — to our listeners, Mothers of Invention .
