Małgorzata Oleszkiewicz-Peralba has spent the last four decades conducting research that finds the unifying thread of the human spirit among cultures across the globe.
Growing up in both Poland and Uruguay and being fluent in seven languages set the stage for Małgorzata Oleszkiewicz-Peralba’s groundbreaking work exposing connections among people across the world.
