The Authentic Asian
Your Circle of Legacy and Leadership
Join a curated community of over 200+ accomplished Asian women leaders—C-level executives, entrepreneurs, and changemakers—who come together not to network, but to connect.
​
This is a space for reflection, growth, and meaningful relationships with women who understand your journey.
​
Excel in a Space Designed for You
Hello, I’m Misa, the founder of The Authentic Asian. Our community was created for accomplished Asian women—leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers—who want a place to connect deeply, reflect, and grow in a way that feels intentional.
​
This is not another networking group. It’s a curated space where women like you can exhale, be fully seen, and build relationships that go beyond business cards.
Connect with Women Who Understand Your Journey
Forge meaningful relationships with Asian women who have navigated similar paths—whether leading at the C-level, running successful businesses, or transitioning into new chapters of life.
Gather in Premium, Curated Experiences
From intimate supper clubs to transformative retreats, we design spaces where you can slow down, reflect, and connect in ways that feel restorative and inspiring.
Access Conversations You Won’t Hear Anywhere Else
Our virtual community on Circle features Fireside chats, workshops, and support huddles led by leaders who have walked in your shoes—addressing identity, leadership, and life beyond achievement.
