Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence

When Kymberly moved from the Philippines to London, she attended an all girl school but wasn’t confident with herself she felt like didn’t belong since she looks different from the rest of her schoolmates. She altered to fit in the crowd.

The “AHA” Moment

When Kymberly moved to Thailand during high school, she saw everyone was different and confident. She looked up to them and realized it was okay to be her true self. She also felt more comfortable since there was alot of mixed race Asians in Thailand. Being inspired by other women also boosted her confidence.
