🌈 Community Champion of the Year: Fabiola Campbell🌈

Fabiola’s commitment to supporting Professional Migrant Women in Australia goes above and beyond. With her “work-ready” mentoring program, she has successfully guided dozens of women to secure their first professional job in their respective fields. Through impactful events and networking initiatives, she has played a pivotal role in helping thousands of women establish meaningful connections and expand their networks.

In addition to her mentoring program, Fabiola’s recent book project, “Undefeated,” has been a groundbreaking endeavour. This initiative provided a platform for 90 authors to share their stories, empowering them to become published authors and inspiring others through their narratives.

Through these diverse projects and more, Fabiola is actively elevating representation and giving a voice to many People of Color. As a united community, we are collectively opening doors and creating opportunities for other People of Color, fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment.

These exceptional individuals have not only showcased outstanding achievements in their respective fields but have also emerged as sources of inspiration for all of us. Let’s come together to celebrate and commend Jen McCrea and Utsav Gupta for their truly deserving recognition!
