This week on The Italian Radio Hour - Three times Kickboxing World Champion, first Italian woman to win Bellator, Gloria Peritore was recently invited to to the US to talk about her her organization "The Shadow Project" - an organization that promotes gender equality in sports and fighting domestic violence on women. During the interview, Gloria shared her personal story of a toxic relationship that lead her to discover kickboxing and rediscover her true self, her journey into becoming a world champion, her motivation, her resilience, and her courage. The Italian Consul General of Philadelphia Cristiana Mele and the Consul General of Detroit Allegra Baistrocchi spearheaded the initiative to bring Gloria to Philadelphia and Detroit, allowing her to share her story both in a US high school, and the general public to create awareness and sensitivity towards stereotypes again the sport, inequality, violence against women, but still give a message of hope and words of practical wisdom. On Oct. 26th, Gloria will take the ring again for her first boxing match. Let's all wish her un enorme "In bocca al lupo".
