Hi girls! My name is Kumi and I’m living in Bangkok, Thailand. I am currently doing social media for my family’s private gym business. Since I took this role, the number of new clients have skyrocketed from 3-4 new clients a month (Jan-July) to well over 40 new clients just in August-September alone. I do this by focusing on creating relatable and entertaining content that makes our trainers personable and feature actual clients to create trust. While doing this, I am also building my own personal brand on Instagram. I am still figuring out my groove but still enjoying the trial and error process nonetheless! An outcome I am working towards before December 31 is posting 3-4x a week consistently for more inbounds for paid collaboration opportunities! Something I take pride in doing very well is not so much of an “action” per se, but it is being a good listener and supporter. I am big on connecting with people on a more human-level and offering a space to exchange support, ideas, and just pushing each other towards our individual goals and helping one another grow. Sometimes you just need someone to listen and provide a fresh perspective and so I am all about mutual support and encouragement! One thing people would never assume about me would be that I am a big homebody. I’ve been told I look the opposite, but I am trying very hard to change that and get out more!! :D I love having productive conversations about work and life so I am very open to that here. My instagram is @kumikyn. It’s lovely to meet you all. <3

Gemi here, from Phnom Penh, Cambodia. A little late to introducing myself, but I’m happy to finally say hello! I graduated with a degree in International Relations a few months ago. Growing up around my parents’ gas station business, which handles both retail and bulk fuel orders, gave me an early introduction to business. I help monitor sales, and I’m still learning so much through the everyday responsibilities. At some point, I started asking myself: “What if I built something I genuinely love from zero?” So, alongside two amazing co-founders, I started Reap Roi (a Cambodian womenswear brand focused on modern, elegant pieces for work and everyday life.) Within our first 15 days, we sold around 30% of our launch inventory. A small milestone, but a very proud moment for me, haha! Right now, I’m focused on building my personal brand and improving my social media skills so I can tell our story better. Posting has never been a natural habit for me, so showing up consistently and letting people see the process is something I’m learning. Beyond business, I’m passionate about character and mindset development especially becoming more disciplined, confident, and intentional in how I live and work. I enjoy going to the gym and have recently decided to try taekwondo. I’m in that stage of figuring things out while taking responsibility for the things I want to BUILD. One reason I wanted to join TFW comes from my 2025 leadership-training experience. What stayed with me were the honest conversations: hearing other people’s stories, reflecting on my own life, and becoming more comfortable opening up to people from different backgrounds. I’d love to find that connection here too: to meet women beyond my usual circle, hear different perspectives, and share what I’m learning along the way. I’m still figuring out this chapter after university, and I’m excited to get to know you girls as I do. my insta: @ts.gemi What’s something you’re learning or starting for the first time at this stage of your life? 🤍
