Finding belonging through grit and resilience

Finding belonging through grit and resilience

Everyone deserves to feel a sense of belonging and acceptance. Grit and Resilience Wangaratta is all about creating inclusion and belonging for all people.

A few months ago, I saw that they were selecting new consortium members, and it reminded me of my younger years in Taiwan when I often felt I did not belong because of my appearance struggles. That is why my work now is all about helping people embrace their uniqueness and live a fulfilled life no matter who they are or where they come from. Inspired by this vision, I decided to put in my application, and I feel truly grateful to have been selected to be part of Grit and Resilience.

Bek, the amazing coordinator (first on the left) and Kirri (first on the right) went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt welcome and cared for. Their warmth, attention to detail, and genuine heart created an atmosphere where people could truly connect. Thank you Bek and Kirri for leading with such kindness and for building a beautiful and safe space for the Wangaratta community. 

❤️ I’m Chi Chi Wang, helping people who struggle with body image build confidence and live with purpose. Article published on 05 September 2025.
