"It was during the Covid pandemic, a time of fear and uncertainty, that Maria-Gabriele Doublesin and I crossed paths, albeit virtually at first. With our mutual interest in multicultural integration issues, Maria-Gabriele invited me to join her in setting up NWAMI International Malta, an NGO advocating for multicultural integration and community cohesion.
An accomplished professional, and academic, with a wealth of knowledge and first-hand experiences gained through journeys across Europe, Egypt, and Brazil, I found Maria-Gabriele’s story to be an inspirational one. However, Maria-Gabriele’s path to success was far from straightforward. As a young adult, she was struck by a life-threatening illness that severely impaired her cognitive functions and forced her to abandon her studies. Not allowing this devastating set back to define her future, Maria-Gabriele used it as a catalyst, to relearn how to learn as a non-native English speaker, making an extraordinary comeback. Despite the odds, through hard work and determination, she embarked on an impressive academic journey, leading to two degrees in psychology, motivating and uplifting others through her lecturing and counselling.
Maria-Gabriele’s story is not just one of academic achievements, it is a powerful testament to the human capacity to overcome adversity. She works tirelessly and continues to influence, inspire, and motivate many across all levels of society to believe in their capabilities and that, with will power and determination, it is never too late to pursue your dreams despite the obstacles along the way."
