Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia
and Taiwan, partnered leading beauty brands Maybelline and Palmolive, to bring
together five Women’s Rights advocates in celebration of women empowerment. As
part of Shopee’s Beauty Fair event, the women - 2013 Miss World, Megan Young,
actress KC Concepcion, and blogger-influencers Martha Jante, Kristine Roces and
Helen Payawal - each shared their personal stories on how they overcame
society’s beauty standards, and to encourage Filipina women to do the same.
Jane Lim, Director of Shopee Philippines, said, “Shopee’s
Beauty Fair is a celebration of women and their success, and we are proud to
partner Maybelline and Palmolive for this event - both leading beauty brands
who share the same belief that women should be celebrated as they are. Beauty
Fair was conceptualised as part of Shopee’s continued commitment to empowering
Filipina across the country. We hope that this serves as an inspirational
platform for more women to take a step forward towards achieving their goals.”
The event featured three different talk show sessions where
the five women shared personal stories on various topics, including how the
media has influenced the standards of beauty, their struggles with overcoming
society’s expectations of women, and how they managed to achieve success in
both their careers and personal lives. Attendees enjoyed a complimentary ride
to the event from Grab, the official ride sponsor, as well as a free blow-dry
and hair styling session by Creations - a salon by Asia’s Top Model Judge,
Lourd Ramos’ salon.
2013 Miss World Megan Young on empowerment and standing up
for yourself
As a speaker at the event, Young shared about her journey
to being crowned 2013 Miss World, and how the title has since placed her in a
position to inspire young women around her.
“Joining Miss World 5 years ago really took me out of my
comfort zone and challenged me to be more confident. After being crowned, I
realised I was in a position where I had the power to influence young women,
and I wanted to do my part to encourage them to stand up for themselves. I used
to just shrug off people who say insensitive or hurtful comments, but now call
them out and tell them they’re wrong, and I encourage all women to not be
afraid to do the same,” shared Young.
Young’s success in her acting career is also a reflection
of her commitment to empowering women, choosing only to act in powerful female
roles. She currently stars in the drama,The Step Daughters, where she plays a
young, fearless woman named Mayumi who changes her destiny by being tenacious
and true to herself.
