Bio

Samantha Ong is the founder of Joeydolls, a toy company on a mission to celebrate culture, identity, and inclusivity through play.

Cultural Background

Samantha is of Malaysian and Chinese descent.

Favorite Self Confidence Quote

Your story may not have such a happy beginning, but that doesn't make you who you are. It is the rest of your story, who you choose to be.

Definition of Self Confidence

Self-confidence is about embracing who you are fully — your culture, your story, your voice — without feeling like you need to hide or shrink yourself. It’s the freedom to be proud of your identity and to know that you belong exactly as you are.

Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence

Samantha was shy and timid. She didn't believe in herself and was worried of what others thought of her.

The “AHA” Moment

Samatha first started a photography business which helped her learn to speak her voice, command presence and become the expert in her field. Her realization was that you can do something that you once thought you can't do.

Her Life After the Discovery of Self Confidence

Today, Samatha lives with a stronger sense of purpose. Creating Joeydolls has allowed her to reclaim the parts of her identity she once tried to minimize. She feels proud not only of her culture, but of building something that helps thousands of families celebrate theirs. She has sold 13,000 dolls around the world, and each one is a little reminder that she is making a difference. That gives Samantha more confidence than she ever thought possible.

The One Self Confidence Tip for the Listener

Don't wait for the perfect moment. Have the courage to show up and take the opportunities in front of you.
