In their own words….
The main point I truly love about POA is knowing that I could accomplish something I never knew I could.
I really value the confidence it took to win the title. Thinking back to how shy I once was, nothing compares to this. Through POA, I’ve had amazing experiences—like visiting a senior center and realizing I can contribute to my community, and even attending a Timberwolves game.

2023 Princess Of Asia Queen
Signing up for Princess Of Asia turned out to be one of the best decisions for my daughter and me. At first, I just wanted her, as a teenager, to carry herself with grace and better posture. I never expected that along the way she would also gain confidence, leadership, a sense of responsibility, and even make such amazing friends.
She has taken the speaking and communication skills she learned from the pageant and applied them in debate, speech, and Model United Nations—and achieved wonderful results.
The moment I saw her on stage, transformed and radiant, I felt truly grateful to Princess Of Asia for opening a whole new world to her.

Mom of 2024 POA Jr. Teen Queen
What began as a simple volunteer escort role at the Princess Of Asia (POA) pageant in February 2025 turned out to be one of the most positive and empowering experiences for my 14-year-old son.
POA gave him countless opportunities to grow—learning new skills, stepping outside his comfort zone, and embracing challenges with confidence. The most rewarding part, as a mother, has been watching my child transform into a more confident and responsible young man in such a short time.
POA truly nurtures confidence in every participant, fostering leadership and personal growth while celebrating each individual’s strengths and uniqueness. My son is proud to be part of a team that values and uplifts everyone.
