Finding Home Abroad: Stacey Carr on Faith, Courage & Reinvention

In this episode of 1946: The Culture Shift Tour – UK, hosts Rocky Roggio and Josie Peres are joined by Stacey Carr, an Emmy-nominated television executive turned theatre leader whose journey from Los Angeles to London is a story of courage, reinvention, and community.

In celebration of International Women’s Day, we’re honoring Stacey’s story as a woman who has helped shape culture through storytelling, leadership, and advocacy.

Stacey’s connection to 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture goes back to the early days of the film, when conversations about scripture, faith, and identity helped inspire the journey that would eventually lead to the documentary.

Today, Stacey works as Head of Inclusion and Skills at London’s Donmar Warehouse Theatre, helping expand opportunities in the arts and supporting emerging storytellers.

In this episode we explore:

• Stacey’s career in television with Nickelodeon and OWN

• Her move from Hollywood to London

• Building community in a new country

• Faith, belonging, and finding home abroad

• Why storytelling can help create spaces where everyone belongs

• Why LGBTQ people should never be excluded from relationship with God.

This is a conversation about women leading change, building community, and creating a more inclusive world.
