Gabriela Kirova is a woman who has proven that with hard work and dedication, anyone can achieve their dreams, no matter where they come from. Born in a small city in Bulgaria, Gabriela went on to study Finance and Developing Smart Cities in Sofia, eventually moving to London to study Business English. While in London, Gabriela made a name for herself in the fashion industry, creating her own brand, Gabriella&Wolf. However, she didn’t stop there. She has since become a philanthropist, charity worker, and political activist.
In all that Gabriela undertakes, her profound affection for her cherished homeland shines through. She is a true believer in the untapped potential of her country, envisioning it as the epitome of desirability as a place to call home. From its breathtaking landscapes to its strategic location bridging Europe and Turkey, Gabriela is convinced that Bulgaria has it all. She has been dedicating herself tirelessly to the noble cause of developing sustainable towns and cutting-edge smart villages within her country, and as a dedicated member of a groundbreaking project, Gabriela is passionately working towards the realization of a visionary town where people can thrive in safety, cultivate their own nourishment with homegrown vegetables, and harness the power of renewable energy through innovative photovoltaics and water power plants.
Gabriela’s commitment to helping others extends beyond Bulgaria. She has been involved in many charities, including UNICEF, where she is a regular guest at the Luisaviaroma and UNICEF Charity Gala in Capri every year. Gabriela has also been invited to a personal meeting with Pope Francis at the Vatican City after becoming part of some supporting organizations in Rome that assist people in need and people experiencing homelessness in Italy.
But Gabriela’s heart beats for a cause close to her soul – empowering women to take the reins of leadership in politics and business. Fueled by her passion, Gabriela joined forces with her trusted friend to launch ‘More Women in Power,’ a groundbreaking organization in 2022. Their mission? To inspire and enable women to actively participate in public life and unlock their fullest potential by breaking barriers and shattering glass ceilings. Gabriela firmly believes that if the current power structure fails to recognize women’s worth, it’s time to redefine power itself, paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable future.
Gabriela’s work with ‘More Women in Power’ is a significant step towards gender equality, as women are often placed in non-elective positions on political lists, and men are favored based on gender when applying for jobs. Gabriela and her organization are trying to create opportunities for equal participation of women in politics so that we can continue building and maintaining democracy.
Gabriela’s tale is one that leaves us awe-inspired, a beacon of hope in a world that sometimes feels uncertain. Her unwavering commitment to driving positive change in Bulgaria, coupled with her fierce advocacy for gender equality, is a testament to her remarkable spirit. Gabriela’s passion for creating a brighter future for generations to come is nothing short of commendable. Her story serves as a reminder to us all that with dedication, determination, and unwavering resolve, we can make a meaningful impact on the world.
