My experience with ASOTY was incredibly empowering, exhilarating and educational.
It stands out as one of the most impactful programs I’ve ever participated in. I had the privilege of joining a remarkable group of girls who taught me a lot. The mentors who guided us were instrumental in helping us become the best versions of ourselves and I couldn’t have asked for a better team.
Right from the start, I realized that ASOTY was more than just a modeling competition. Even during the initial interview stages, it was evident that the program had deep values & integrity. While modelling and training were integral parts, there were additional components focused specifically on personal growth, mental health, self-care workshops and much more.
The emphasis on purpose and advocacy was consistently emphasized throughout the program. It became clear to us that we needed to have a purpose, a cause to advocate for. This awareness became immensely important because it provided a powerful platform to express our advocacy extending beyond our modelling & other chosen careers.
I felt a deep sense of belonging and sisterhood with everyone involved. I was truly able to be my authentic self and gained the confidence to express myself openly. ASOTY helped me realize my unrecognised potential showing me that I was capable of more than I ever thought. Through public speaking on social media and self-reflection, the program transformed me into a more confident individual, both personally and professionally
Witnessing the growth of all the girls, from the initial online sessions to our final night in Bali, was a beautiful experience.
