Landmark Difference Makers Interview Series: Angelika Schlauß – Reuniting Families. Restoring Hope.
Join us for an interview with German entrepreneur and humanitarian Angelika Schlauß (Landmark graduate since 2001, former staff member and SELP leader), who was shaped by her mother’s experience as a war-child in wartime Germany and whose lifelong commitment to peace became profoundly urgent when the war in Ukraine began.
Angelika now channels that mission into We Are All Ukrainians USA, where they’re focused on raising awareness about the 20,000 Ukrainian children abducted and relocated to Russian territory—children whose names and birth-dates have been changed and who are being adopted into Russian families.
Through bold global partnerships, her team is working to bring these children home, reunite them with their families, and provide critical psychological support. In this powerful interview, Angelika opens up about how history, identity, trauma, and hope intersect in her work—and how each of us can play a part.
Tune in to hear how peace becomes action, and how one person’s calling can ripple across borders to re-write the stories of these children.

Landmark Difference Makers Interview Series: Stan Ghys – Making Things Right for Homeless Women in Australia
We’re honored to interview Stan Ghys, a Landmark graduate based in Sydney, who recently applied the principles of the Self-Expression and Leadership Program (SELP) to launch a powerful community initiative.
Drawing on the creativity, collaboration, and bold action that SELP fosters, Stan brought together over 50 composers, singers, and musicians to create Homeless — a moving original song raising awareness and funds for over 53,000 women experiencing homelessness in Australia and over 400,000 more at risk due to financial stress and domestic violence.
The project was recorded at ABC’s studios and recently launched, with Stan aiming to raise $100,000 for Mission Australia and having raised over $13,000 already. It’s a shining example of what’s possible when self-expression meets purpose.
We’re proud to celebrate Stan’s leadership and the impact he’s creating through music and community.
