Fronditha Care hosted “In Conversation” with Mary Coustas as part of its annual event celebrating International Women’s Day.
In a thought-provoking and inspiring discussion led by Faye Spiteri OAM, CEO, Fronditha Care, Mary shared stories and personal reflections on building resilience, the importance of being ambitious and how she has overcome the obstacles in her career to succeed as an actor.
She spoke honestly and candidly about the challenges she faced along the way, emphasising that determination and self-belief were key for her in breaking through.
A highlight of the event was her heartfelt performance as the beloved character ‘Effie’, bringing laughter and joy to the audience while reinforcing the powerful and poignant message that all women possess inherent strength. And that women need to take responsibility for carving out their future irrespective of what they aspire to be.
With over 90 attendees joining both in person and online, the conversation sparked meaningful discussion about gender equality, the next generation and the shared experiences of women from all backgrounds.
Closing the event, Mrs Spiteri noted how inspirational and thought-provoking the conversation was and said: “Today we were moved and challenged to think about a different outlook for ourselves as women. Mary’s main message and consistent theme through the anecdotes and experiences she shared, is that we are each responsible for our own destiny and while you should seek out mentors and those who can champion you, you must always take ownership of your future”.
