Maria Rincon calls herself a “smoothie”, a blend of Chinese, Colombian, and Canadian cultures, now living in Sweden. 🌏

In this episode, she shares her journey from being known as the “little Chinese girl” in Colombia, to winning Miss Chinese Vancouver, to hosting TV shows in China, to working with the UN, and finally finding her true calling as a public speaking coach. 🎤

Maria opens up about:

  • Growing up between cultures & navigating family expectations
  • How pageants and TV shaped her confidence (and struggles)
  • Why she redefined success on her own terms
  • Her top tips for speaking with presence and impact

✨ Whether you’re a third culture kid, someone exploring identity, or looking to boost your confidence on stage (or in life), Maria’s story will inspire you to embrace your smoothie identity as your superpower.

Bio:

Maria C. Rincon (王思思) is a Colombian-Chinese public speaking coach who grew up in Vancouver, Canada. Once a shy immigrant kid, she went on to win beauty pageants, host television programs in China, and work with the United Nations before finding her true calling in helping others gain confidence in public speaking.
She recently delivered a TEDx talk on redefining success, drawing from the values of her half-Asian household upbringing, and the challenges that came along.
