Stories of Hope: Cristiana Oprea | Cristiana Oprea

Video Description from YouTube:

Cristiana Oprea is a rally driver and founder of the Romanian Women in Motorsport platform, and the first Romanian woman to compete in the World Rally Championship. She spent her career breaking barriers in motorsport, inspiring women to pursue their dreams, and creating a community that supports and amplifies female talent in the sport.

This video is part of the series “Stories of Hope”, featuring creatives, activists, artists, and community builders who reflect on what hope means to them, where they find it, and the moments they chose to act. It was created to mark the 10th year of collaboration between The Power of Storytelling and UniCredit Bank, who have helped us build a space for stories that spark change, connection, and growth.

GRRL! Notes: Christiana summarizes the entire motivation behind GRRL! beautifully. Yes, we are excitedly reporting the incredible (and invisible) achievements of women in motorsport, but it’s much more than that. We believe we can help create change through sport, especially women continually advancing gender equality on a worldwide stage.
