Muse & the Marketplace 2019

Lori Thicke

Paris, France

I'm a Canadian living in Paris, France. I founded the charity Translators without Borders (30,000 members & 70,000 followers). I also founded an international translation company. I am completing a memoir about growing up with an eccentric single father, a dreamer who failed - spectacularly - at everything, except at being a father.
