Sheena YAp Chan presents
The Tao of Self-Confidence library donation drive
For AAPI Heritage Month and Mental health awareness month
It all started with a dream for better representation
Sheena Yap Chan has been on a mission to elevate the voices of Asian women and beyond. It all started with her childhood. Living in Toronto, Canada, she never saw anybody in the media that looked like her. Because of this, Sheena felt like she couldn't see herself in leadership positions.
Since 2015, Sheena has been creating representation for Asian women through various forms of media and with the launch of her upcoming book called The Tao of Self-Confidence: A Guide to Moving Beyond Trauma and Awakening the Leader Within, she wants to be able to give back to the community by donating 3000 copies of her upcoming book to libraries across the USA.
Being able to donate this many books can promote diversity and inclusion, honor our AAPI community and help libraries who are underfunded access books written by underrepresented groups. Sheena will be fundraising and creating different events to bring awareness to this library donation drive.
The goal:
3000 books to be donated to libraries across the United States by the end of AAPI Heritage Month (May 31)
How:
Libraries are underfunded and with stagnant government grants along with high costs of books and day to day operations, there is no budget left to buy books that the AAPI community and beyond can access for free.
By providing this book to libraries nationwide, we are able to help underfunded communities have access to a book that is a guide for mental health and leadership.

What readers are saying about the tao of self-confidence
"This book will be a great guide no matter what stage you are in your leadership journey. It tackles the topics that our community rarely talks about but an absolute need to address. Representation matters every single day and this book is the start of seeing Asian women as leaders."
-Julia S. Gouw, Chairwoman of Piermont Bank
"Sheena shatters the destructive and demeaning stereotypes and tropes that have plagued Asian women for centuries. Her book emphasizes the powerful impact of excellence and how we can all be stronger allies and advocates for Asian women. Her lived experiences will not only inspire women but men too."
–Bill Imada, Chairman and Chief Connectivity Officer of IW Group
"This is a much-needed book! I’m so grateful that this book takes a look at challenges and our wins at the same time. I hope we can all find ways to uplift each other, and this book is a great resource."
–Michelle Li, Journalist + co-founder of The Very Asian Foundation
About The Book
In 2021, women represented 54.3% of the US workforce but only held 35% of senior leadership positions. Of that percentage, only 2.7% of Asian women were seen in management roles. While there have been great leaps for women in the workplace in the last decade, women of color still fall behind. The Tao of Self-Confidence book sets a foundation to help Asian Women start being seen as leaders in work and life rather than by our stereotypes. In order to move forward with true confidence, we must learn the lessons our challenges have taught us and heal our trauma.
