MARINA BALOSSI. Stakeholder of HerStory, a woman of Lecco present. Marina is an entrepreneur and coordinator of the “Lions New Voices Committee”. Her daughters help define who she is today; having walked with them “determines me”. She has an optimistic approach to the future: her family taught her that you don’t give up, you don’t give in, and that you always need courage; she also looks ahead with a sense of humour and her self-deprecation helps her in this. She believes in the importance of taking space and making an impact in practice, focusing less on big laws or impositions, but making an impact in the here and now. What does she suggest to young women? Not to live subject to the judgement of others, not to always conform, to be listening, to value the encounters they make in their own story, because every encounter is capable of leaving a mark and allows you to leave your own mark.
