From Immigrant to International Keynote Speaker: Zhen Tao’s Story in Paris
On March 6, 2026, in Paris, Zhen Tao will take the stage at the i-DIAS – WYNx Award-Winning Talks 2026 — not just as an entrepreneur, not just as a brand founder, but as a woman with a story.
This keynote will be deeply personal.
Because this time, she is not just talking about business.
She is talking about her life.
The Untold Beginning: Starting as an Immigrant in the United States
Before the brands.
Before the recognition.
Before the international stage.
There was uncertainty.
Arriving in the United States as an immigrant meant starting from zero — new culture, new language nuances, no established network, no generational wealth, and no shortcuts.
There were moments of doubt.
Moments of isolation.
Moments of questioning whether the sacrifice was worth it.
Being an immigrant is not just about relocation.
It is about rebuilding identity from the ground up.
You work twice as hard to prove yourself.
You carry the pressure of representing your family.
You navigate systems that were not built with you in mind.
And yet — you persist.
From Survival to Vision
Zhen Tao’s journey began with small, humble steps.
Long hours.
Financial risks.
Learning through failure.
Building credibility one client at a time.
There were setbacks that could have ended the dream.
There were doors that closed.
There were seasons when survival felt more urgent than ambition.
But struggle was never the end of the story.
It was the training ground.
Through discipline, faith, resilience, and relentless action, she built brands in beauty, wellness, education, and empowerment — proving that your starting point does not define your destination.
What She Will Share in Paris
In this keynote, Zhen Tao will speak openly about:
The emotional weight of starting over in a foreign country
The mindset required to move from survival to success
The sacrifices behind entrepreneurship
Turning rejection into redirection
Building confidence when you feel unseen
Why discipline matters more than motivation
This is not a highlight reel presentation.
It is a truth-filled conversation about what it really takes.
More Than a Speech — A Representation
This keynote represents every immigrant who started with nothing but belief.
Every woman who was underestimated.
Every entrepreneur who built quietly before being seen publicly.
Paris is not the destination.
It is proof of the journey.
On March 6, 2026, Zhen Tao will stand on a global stage not because the road was easy — but because she refused to quit.
And her message will be clear:
Your beginnings do not limit your future.
Your struggles can become your strategy.
And your story is your power.
Paris, we are coming.
