"I didn't want to acknowledge any life challenges I had along the waywhich left me feeling burnt out from not showing my whole self," says Trish Boes, founder and CEO of UnlimitMe.

But now, she says, "being a powerful leader means being authentic and fully integrating all parts of my life journey."

In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, Boes and six other female leaders of Asian descent share how their cultural heritage has influenced their careers in a Huffington Post video.

"It is about elevating those voices who are not being heard," says Nandita Gupta, product manager at Microsoft.

"The power of that resilience is one of the most profound insights she's gained while building the nonprofit," says Jessica Sikora, founder and CEO of Superbands, which helps change the stigma of youth mental health.

"The partnerships you establish not only shape your present reality but also significantly influence your path toward success," adds Medha Nicky Rishi, founder and CEO of parenting support platform MissPoppins.
