By KYLIE WILSON A COUNTRY childhood, learning about life from her Italian and Chinese grandparents while growing up in Markwood, have helped inform popular AFLW player Darcy Vescio’s latest role – that of an Ambassador for Multiculturalism. She was recently named as part of the program by the Victorian Multicultural Commission, and said she was humbled to be a part of it. “I feel privileged to be a part of the Ambassadors for Multiculturalism campaign, as it’s so important to share stories of multicultural Australians and highlight our contributions to society,” Darcy said. “People from all walks of life play football and other sports, and sport has a unique way of uniting people to celebrate what you share rather than what your differences are. “Our stories break down barriers, build human connection and bring people together.” Darcy said she had a “really special” childhood, living “across the paddock” from her Italian Nonno Frank Vescio and Nonna Lina Vescio. She also regularly spent time with her mother’s father, of Chinese background, Cheong Lip Louey.
