MEET THE TEAM
It takes a team to move forward with a mission, and it takes a village to build a community. Thanks to these wonderful humans, this is the reason why Strong Asian Lead exists.
Small Team Big Impact
We’re a very small team, and by small, we mean it’s just one full-time member. Meet Mas Moriya, the heart and soul behind Strong Asian Lead. Everything you see here, from our digital content to this very website, is brought to life by Mas’s commitment and vision.
We’ve been fortunate to have worked with some incredibly talented third-party partners along the way. From time to time, we’ve also been supported by the selfless efforts of volunteers. Though their journeys with us often come to an end due to the nature of volunteering, their contributions never go unnoticed.
We operate without financial support, making our mission a labor of love. Everyone generously gives their time and talent without monetary compensation. We’re driven by passion, the pursuit of representation, and the will to make a difference.
We dream of expanding our team and enhancing our capacity. However, without funding, this remains a future goal. We always welcome new volunteers who understand that this work is about more than just play – it’s a commitment, it’s a cause, it’s about making an impact.
So here we are, a solo team with big dreams, hoping to make a difference in the world. We’re glad to have you here, and we invite you to join us on this exciting journey.
