Sr. Durstyne Farnan serves as a representative to the United Nations for the Dominican Sisters Conference, an organization of Dominican sisters and associates from across the nation.
Farnan, known as Sister Dusty, talks with Sister Maxine about how she helps Dominican women "in bringing their voice to the U.N. on behalf of civil society."
