The III Edition of “Unstoppable and Humane” took place at the Carme Serrallonga Auditorium in Barcelona, an event organized by the Inspiring Girls Foundation that brought together more than 110 high school students from various schools in the city. Under the direction of journalist Carlota Corredera, the young attendees witnessed impactful stories of resilience and empowerment from women who have overcome significant adversities in their lives.
Among the notable participants were Sarah Almagro, Spanish champion of adaptive surfing; Lola González-Pinto, content creator; and Inés Rodríguez, a speech therapist and disability visibility activist. Each shared their personal experiences, emphasizing the importance of inclusion and boosting self-esteem. Almagro, who has faced enormous challenges after losing four limbs due to meningitis, emphasized that success is rooted in effort and perseverance, values she has cultivated through sports.
For her part, González-Pinto described the daily difficulties she faces due to her condition, reflecting on how she has learned to manage these challenges with a positive attitude. “It’s hard to have to give up some things,” she confessed, while Rodríguez insisted that disability does not define people; rather, it identifies them.
The event was supported by the brand Mango, represented by Doris Casares, who highlighted that the collaboration with Inspiring Girls reflects the company’s commitment to female talent and leadership. Marta Pérez Dorao, president of the Foundation, pointed out that “Unstoppable and Humane” aims to empower girls by providing them with role models who have achieved success despite adversity.
Since its inception, this initiative has brought together leaders from various disciplines, inspiring over 58,000 girls across Spain. This meeting has reaffirmed the commitment to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can shine.
