Lynn Anamasi is a faith‑led advocate and community builder whose work bridges spirituality, justice, and service. She is a board member and the Charlotte chapter president of the SOAP Project, a national anti‑trafficking organization that equips volunteers and hotel staff to recognize the signs of human trafficking and identify missing children through labeled bars of soap and targeted outreach.
Lynn’s commitment to mercy and justice is also shaped by her relationship with the Sisters of Mercy, with whom she is an Associate. Their charism of compassion, courage, and service to the most vulnerable continues to guide her advocacy and her leadership within SOAP.
In this episode, Lynn shares with us her spiritual background, with a special focus on the impact of the Cursillo movement on the development of her faith. She discusses how she became involved with the SOAP Project along with the origins, mission, and outreach efforts of the organization. We look at why it is so important to raise awareness and correct misconceptions around the issue of human trafficking, and Lynn offers real-life examples to show how SOAP is educating the public and helping survivors to heal.
