Empowering Conversations
With Asian Women Entrepreneurs Across Asia
S11-E3: Anissa Safia
Founder, Anissa Safia Books, Malaysia
Anissa Safia shares how a life-altering stroke redirected her path from corporate life to stay-at-home mom and self-publishing. She explains her market-driven approach to make books for mothers and children accessible and why she chose self-publishing. The conversation dives into her series philosophy, how she tackles tough topics in children's books like single motherhood and adoption and the idea of building a “village”— a supportive circle to sustain women-led ventures.
S11-E2: Marinel M. de Jesus, Esq.
Founder, Brown Gal Trekker LLC & Equity Global Treks – The Porter Voice Collective, The Philippines
Marinel M. de Jesus challenges the mountain tourism industry’s systemic inequities by centering porter voices and women guides, advocating for decolonized, community-led trekking. Her journey—from law to global mountains—illustrates practical, compassionate leadership that uplifts marginalized communities across Asia and beyond.
S11-E1: Krista Goon
Podcast Host, Womenpreneur Asia
After 155 episodes across 10 seasons, I’ve learned that growth begets more growth. When we raise the voices of women who are building in Hong Kong, India, Vietnam, Singapore, and beyond, the ripple effect reaches far wider than a single show. This is about building credibility, opening doors and creating real opportunities for each other.
