The Australian Filipina is proud to put the spotlight on its featured offering for the celebration of International Women’s Month.

Another Filipina who is part of Ausmumpreneur is a co-author of a book aimed at further empowering women and any readers. The book, titled Courage and Confidence, involving twenty-four women’s inspiring messages has been launched in time for the month long celebration.

We are delighted to present none other than Mafae Yuson-Belasco who is best known for her success in the beauty pageant industry, having won prestigious awards locally and internationally, such as Miss Philippines Australia 1998, Binibining Pilipinas World 2003 (and prominently landing top 5 in the Miss World competition of the same year held in Sanya, China), and Mrs. Philippines Globe 2008. 

Apart from her achievement in the beauty pageant world, Mafae is also an achiever in the areas of talent management, public relations & marketing, content creation, events management, online show production, and social media management for companies and individuals all over the world, life coach and tennis coach.  

Combining the inspirational stories and expert business advice of 24 women business leaders this book ‘Courage and Confidence” shares the life-changing power of what can happen when you learn how to embrace your courage and confidence. 


Mafae’s interview about the book and her chapter, and her life story as reflected on her chapter, can be seen in this video:

Co-author Peace Mitchell of The Women’s Business School says, “Believing in yourself is an incredible force of power that starts with you. Whether you want to change the world, invent an incredible product, take on the big brands, inspire people, take your business global, start a movement or dream bigger in any way, it’s time to embrace your courage and confidence and follow that calling!”

“We wrote this book because we know that there are so many women out there with big dreams and ambitions who are playing small and being held back by fear and self-doubt. We wanted to send a strong and clear message to the world and women everywhere that it doesn’t have to be this way, and this book will guide you through everything you need to develop the courage and confidence to follow your dreams.” Mitchell explains.

‘Courage and Confidence’ launched nationally on 7 March 2022 with a 5-day online festival featuring interviews and presentations from each of the 24 authors.  To view the various activities for the launch, check out the ausmumpreneur page.
