Kathy LeMay Biography

Kathy LeMay has committed her life to global social change. She began at the age of 14 launching an anti-apartheid campaign in her small Massachusetts mill town. Several human rights campaigns later which resulted in a LOT of press in a conventional rural community, she recalls her mother’s nervous boss saying, “Will your daughter be appearing in the newspaper as a REGULAR thing?” Her mother’s reply: “With any luck, absolutely yes.”

Since then LeMay has traveled the United States and the world listening to, learning from, and raising money for those who’ve survived war, genocide, gender-based violence and climate-induced disasters. In the course of her work, LeMay has raised $175M, led international women’s human-rights organizations, become a sought-after public speaker, a published author, and served as a philanthropic adviser to some of the world’s most renowned philanthropists. It was while she was in these halls of power that she realized that she did not feel as though she had arrived. She felt lost and not found in philanthropy.

Now, after thirty years in global social change, LeMay is going back to roots, back to where it all began. She’s rediscovering what it means to teach someone to read, to feed families at soup kitchens, and to radically listen to each person’s life and experience, and to share her story. Today, LeMay is capturing people’s stories and words through photojournalism with the goal of hosting her first exhibit.

  • The Calm in the Storm

    When a prominent pastor from North Carolina argued that gays and lesbians should be rounded up and put behind an electrified fence to die out, Kathy LeMay refused to be poisoned by his words and others like them. Called "the calm in the storm" of the fight for gay rights, she urges her audiences to dispel their anger • right as it may be • and instead focus on empowering themselves and other marginalized individuals. "It's not what people say to you but how you respond to them that defines who you are," she says. Heralding this hopeful and humanitarian message, she insists that the gay community has an obligation to promote all human rights • not simply gay rights • and ought to use its social and political leverage to do so.
