New Book: Le Seconde a second-generation immigrant's journey by Angelina Mastrippolito
In this episode I’m chatting with Angelina Mastrippolito, a second-generation Italian immigrant about her new book ‘Le Seconde’. The book details her life growing up in the cane fields of North Queensland in an Italian family. The expectations on women, the strength of her mother and what you can achieve if you are brave enough to take the step.
This book is resonated with me, as my husband was born in Italy and migrated in 1952 from Italy to Australia with his parents and baby sister at the age of 4.
What I loved about our conversation was learning about Angelina’s journey and all she has achieved from those early days. It reminded me again of the courage and strength of women and what we can achieve.
Meet Angelina
Angelina Mastrippolito grew up amongst the sugarcane fields of Far North Queensland. Her family lived in the small town of Ingham alongside other Italian migrants – it was in fact known as ‘Little Italy.’
After university, she qualified as an actuary. She was the first actuary from Far North Queensland and when she qualified in 1988, she was one of only around 30 female actuaries in Australia. She worked in the finance Industry while looking after her two children and an accommodation business in the Snowy Mountains.
In a career that spanned over 40 years, she was a trusted advisor to large Australian and multinational companies as well holding senior executive positions, including CEO and COO, in a number of superannuation funds. She is currently a director of the Brave Foundation and on the committee of the Sydney and Inner West U3A and Inner West Speakers.
She is also a director of ASEAN, an organisation that aims to build a culturally diverse community in Australia in order to promote cross cultural relations and interfaith tolerance.
Angelina’s love of writing started in her late fifties, though she has been an avid reader all her life. Le Seconde is her first book.
Angelina lives in Sydney’s Inner West and is the proud mother of two adult children and two very furry but beloved golden retriever dogs. She took up ballroom dancing in her sixties and in her spare time, you will find her perfecting her Argentine Tango.
