In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Cristina Clemente, whose story beautifully captures the richness of family, heritage, and community. Cristina is the daughter of Italian immigrant parents from the Campania region, a proud wife to Peter, a devoted mum of two, a Partner in an accounting firm, and a dedicated board member of the South Australian Italian Association.Our conversation was full of warmth and reflection. Cristina shared what it was like growing up in Adelaide, where her grandparents lived right next door—a blessing that gave her a deep appreciation of family life and traditions. She also opened up about her professional journey in accounting, her passion for community involvement, and the values she is now passing on to her children.One of the most heartfelt messages Cristina leaves us with is the importance of staying close to our parents and grandparents while we have the chance. By listening to their stories and learning from their experiences, we not only honour them but also gain a deeper understanding of the generations that came before us.Brought to you by Shining Light
