AMBER LI, 31

Realtor

Amber has overcome a chaotic upbringing to become a successful realtor who has become a positive role model for young women. Amber says she is proud to have grown into the best version of herself, both mentally and physically. She is now a committed advocate for mental health and wellness after discovering the difference between the way Asian and Western cultures deal with mental health issues.

“Many young adults in Asia lack the support they need. While things have indeed improved, there is still a long way to go in educating and changing old mindsets and building a comprehensive support framework, especially for children and young adults,” she says. “I hope with my advocacy, to change the stigma surrounding mental illnesses and create a safe space for people struggling with their mental health.”
