“Are You Superwoman?” Metsola Asked

"Are You Superwoman?" Metsola Asked
Apr 2 2023 Share

Roberta Metsola, the European Parliament President, recently sat down for an interview with Richard Quest from CNN. During the interview, Metsola was asked about how she manages to juggle her duties as a mother of four children and her role as the European Parliament President.

Metsola’s response was that it takes a great deal of organisation, the help of grandparents, and a schedule that is inflexible but can be made flexible when necessary. She also noted that she and other female politicians are often asked about how they balance parenthood, family duties, and their political roles, while male politicians are not typically asked the same question.

Metsola’s comments highlight an ongoing issue in many professions, including politics, where women are often held to a different standard than men. Women in positions of power are often expected to excel in their professional roles while also fulfilling traditional gender roles at home. Meanwhile, men are rarely questioned about how they manage to balance work and family life.

April is recognized worldwide as Autism Awareness Month, and it is a time to increase understanding and acceptance of individuals with autism. In line with this, the local band Different Minds has recently launched their new single ‘Different Not Less,’ which highlights the abilities of autistic individuals and advocates for their integration into society.

The lyrics of ‘Different Not Less’ were written by the band’s acoustic guitarist, Jason, and his daughter, Nicole Mizzi. The song’s powerful lyrics emphasise the importance of recognising that being different does not make one less capable or worthy of love and acceptance. It encourages society to create more opportunities for people with autism, to support and understand their needs, and to appreciate their unique talents.

Different Minds is a group of talented musicians who have been creating music for a cause. The band comprises singer Robert G, Elton Abela on piano, Godwin Debono on bass guitar, Jeff Hailey on electric guitar, Julio Guintero on drums, and Jason, who is the band’s acoustic guitarist. The band’s musical arrangements are a result of the collective effort of all its members.

‘Different Not Less’ is the sixth single from Different Minds in recent years, and the band is known for its tracks such as ‘Across the Borderline’ and ‘Helping Hand.’ The band’s new song is a testament to their commitment to creating music that spreads a message of hope and inclusivity.

The production of ‘Different Not Less’ was done by Cyprian Cassar, a music producer who has worked with some of the best artists in the industry. His expertise has helped bring out the best in the band’s performance, making the song a moving tribute to individuals with autism.

Different Minds’ latest release, ‘Different Not Less,’ is a powerful anthem that advocates for the inclusion and acceptance of individuals with autism. It is a reminder that being different is not a weakness, but a unique strength that should be celebrated. The song’s uplifting lyrics and the band’s soulful performance make it a must-listen for everyone who values diversity, empathy, and kindness.

Different Minds’ ‘Different Not Less’ is a heartwarming tribute to individuals with autism, and it serves as a reminder that we must work towards creating a more inclusive society. Let us take this Autism Awareness Month to spread more awareness, compassion, and understanding towards individuals with autism and their families.
