Angela Bettoni

Angela is a twenty-two-year-old writer and performer with Down Syndrome who lives in Malta, having previously lived in Oxford and Rome. She has a Sri Lankan mum and Italian dad. Angela is just finishing the final year of a BA degree in Creative Arts. She is a passionate advocate for inclusion, and in 2022 received one of ten ‘Outstanding Young Persons Awards’ by the Junior Chamber International Malta for her advocacy work. She spends most of her free time writing and has four self-published books sold in aid of charities, which were published between the ages of nine and sixteen.

Through writing and performance, Angela’s mission is to break down society’s assumptions about what we think is normal and what we think is different.
