I focus on opportunities rather than challenges. Be careful with the stories we tell ourselves – using the word ‘minority’ can feel disempowering, while ‘indigenous’ or ‘native’ gives a sense of rootedness and belonging. I regard myself as a native Malay Singaporean lady who can offer valuable perspectives and create impact for the companies I work with. That said, building credibility and taking steps to be taken seriously are very important, and that starts with doing what you say you will do.
