A Resilient Journey

In the tapestry of life, adversity weaves a pattern that tests the strength and resilience of the human spirit. For Marysa Maggio, President of Solidity Insurance Group, her story is not just about her ascent in the insurance industry; it is a profound narrative of loss, resilience and unwavering determination.

Marysa’s life was upended at the tender age of nine when her father was sent to federal prison. The absence of a paternal figure during her and her sister’s formative years left a void, yet it was their mother’s indomitable spirit that illuminated their path. Tragedy struck again when, that same year, Marysa’s mother was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer. Against all odds, her mother battled the disease for 10 years, demonstrating the same resilience and strength she hoped to instill in her daughters.

The loss of her mother forced Marysa to confront the realities of life head-on. It was in this adversity that Marysa’s true strength was forged. Her journey through grief and uncertainty led her to the insurance industry, a field she stumbled into but quickly realized was her calling. The personal tragedy of losing her mother without adequate life insurance coverage ignited a passion in Marysa to ensure that no child or family would have to endure the financial instability that she faced.

Marysa’s leadership at Solidity Insurance Group is characterized by her empathy and a deep understanding of the transformative power of insurance. Her team, a vibrant mosaic of young individuals from diverse backgrounds, is unified in their desire to make a difference. Marysa embodies the qualities of resilience, adaptability and the courage to face adversity — traits that she instills in her team. As she continues to lead Solidity Insurance Group, her journey serves as an inspiration to all who seek to overcome challenges and make a meaningful impact in the lives of others.
