My name is Bianca, and I am a 17‑year‑old living in the United States. I am passionate about social justice and working with children. For the past six years, I have called New York City home, attending both American middle and high schools. I was born in London to Italian parents and spent seven formative years in Milan, immersed in Italian culture and education. Later, I moved to Mumbai, India, where I attended an international school for three years before relocating to New York. These experiences gave me a multicultural perspective, teaching me how language can be a bridge to opportunity. Speaking English was the key that allowed me to adapt, connect, and thrive in every new environment. Co‑founding MaBi English has been a very meaningful journey for me and I am proud to have done it. English opened doors for me, and I want to give that same opportunity to children in Italy who are eager to learn but lack access. Italy is my country and my family has always encouraged me to stay connected to our Italian heritage. MaBi English became the perfect way to honor my roots while empowering others. It is more than a school — it is my way of giving back, of turning my own story into a tool for change, and of helping other children open up to new opportunities.
