“Being highly commended for the Asian Women of Achievement Award has been transformative. This has not only connected me with accomplished Asian women, but also integrated me into a larger community. Each woman’s unique narrative has inspired me, their triumphs resonating with my journey. The AWA is more than just an award; it’s a testament to the strength and potential of Asian women, and being a recipient has profoundly influenced my perspective, ambition, and sense of pride in my cultural heritage.”
