Christina is a dedicated women’s mentor and advocate, profoundly impacting lives through her work with UYG (Unleash Yourself with Gladness), a community interest company. Here, she partners with survivors of domestic abuse, empowering them to rebuild their lives with newfound self-belief and essential business skills. A pillar of resilience and compassion, Christina embodies the belief that obstacles are merely stepping stones to success. Her motto, “If it’s possible for one, it’s possible for me,” inspires both her and those she mentors to surpass boundaries and chase their dreams with passion and determination. Christina’s own life reflects her deep commitment to learning and growth. After stepping up at just 18 to raise her three younger siblings, she later pursued a law degree as a mature student, marking herself as the first in her family to attend and graduate university. Her relentless pursuit of knowledge continues to fuel her journey as a life-long learner. In addition to her mentoring work, Christina runs a successful business as a wedding and portrait photographer, blending artistic vision with personal storytelling. Her multifaceted career is a testament to her dynamic approach to life—always learning, always growing and always inspiring others to do the same.

The Countdown Begins!! 3 Days to go till Finals!!
Last outing for my Miss Universe Great Britain Sash before I head off in Two days to Cardiff!
I had a fabulous evening attending the Ms Surrey GB pageant at East Hampstead Park in Wokingham last night.
It was great to catch up with some beautiful pageant friends once again and to meet a few more of you too!
A huge congratulations to Hayley, our new Ms Surrey GB! I’m usually no good at picking the winner but happy to say I was correct with my choice last night. Very well deserved and your onstage answer was perfect!

I’m thrilled to share that my talk today at UYG (Unleash Yourself with Gladness) was a fabulous success!
A heartfelt thank you to UYG for inviting me to speak about ‘How to be Fabulous, Through Resilience & Confidence’ and to the incredible Gladness for her steadfast support in my journey as a women’s mentor and resilience coach. A special shoutout to Kerry for her impeccable organisation skills and to Indulgence Maidstone for not only sponsoring but also providing a beautiful space for our event. Lastly, immense gratitude to Kent Community Foundation for sponsoring the delightful brunch that all attendees enjoyed.
In today’s talk, we explored how building confidence is deeply rooted in resilience, self-efficacy, and authenticity. Remember, true confidence blooms when we:
1. Embrace challenges as opportunities to grow (resilience),
2. Recognize and celebrate our successes (self-efficacy),
3. Stay true to our values and beliefs (authenticity).
Let’s continue to support each other in our journeys to become our fabulous, most authentic selves. #UnleashYourselfWithGladness#BeConfident#Resilience#SelfEfficacy#Authenticity#Empowerment#PersonalGrowth#EventThankYou#MaidstoneEvents#CommunitySupport#BeFabulous#WomensEmpowerment#MissUniverse#MissUniverseGB#TheRoadToMissUniverse#MissUniverse24#MissUniverseGB#paulaabbandonato
