It was an honour to be nominated alongside an incredible group of women at AmCham HK's 22nd Women of Influence Awards Gala on March 13th. The evening was a fantastic celebration of the remarkable women championing gender equality across Hong Kong, and I was proud to see our work at YAMA for greater inclusivity and accessibility recognised.
A huge congratulations to all the winners for their incredible work improving lives in our communities. It was inspiring to hear them share valuable insights on everything from wellbeing to community building.
As Co-Chair Trilby White highlighted, the event explored the meaning of "future-proofing" across different industries. She emphasised the importance of elevating diverse voices and ensuring the WOI platform acts as a driving force for fairness, action, and leadership, especially during uncertain times.
Thank you, AmCham, for creating a influential platform that recognises women, allies, and organisations. Your commitment to promoting inclusivity and empowering the next generation of change makers is truly inspiring.

在3月13日，美國商會舉辦第22屆「年度傑出女性頒獎典禮」，能與一眾出色的女性並列提名，實為榮幸。當晚是一個意義非凡的慶典，表揚在香港積極推動性別平等的卓越女性。YAMA 在共融與無障礙方面的工作獲得肯定，讓我感到由衷的驕傲。
衷心恭賀所有得獎者，感謝她們為社羣生活帶來的深遠貢獻。從身心健康到社羣建設，各位得獎者分享的真知灼見令人深受啟發。
正如聯席主席 Trilby White 所強調，是次活動探討了不同行業中「未來應對力」的意義。她指出，提升多元聲音的重要性，並確保「傑出女性」平台成為推動公平、行動與領導力的驅動力——尤其在充滿不確定的時代，這份使命更顯迫切。
感謝美國商會搭建這個具影響力的平台，表彰各位女性、支持者及組織的貢獻。你們致力推動共融、賦能新一代變革推動者的精神，深深鼓舞著我們。
