"Your past is a chapter, not the whole story. Who you choose to become today is what truly defines you."

—Abel Prasad

As a passionate advocate for personal growth and leadership values, Abel Prasad shares reflections that encourage people to build resilience, empathy, and integrity. Through his experiences, he explores how developing a leadership mindset can shape a more positive and purposeful life—both personally and within the community.

Hi, I’m Abel Prasad—a passionate advocate for family, connection, and mental health.

Growing up in the tight-knit community of South Australia, I learned the value of belonging early on. With the support of my extended family, I found strength in storytelling, resilience, and love.

From school at St. Peters College to the life I’ve built today, every chapter has taught me something—and now, I share those lessons with honesty and heart.

With my amazing wife by my side, I’m writing the next part of the journey—and I’m glad you’re here to read along.

—Peace and Respect, Abel
