Co-authored by Maralit and 14 other exceptional Filipinas, the book highlights the power of embracing one’s journey and overcoming life's challenges.
Inspiring Filipino women through various tales of hardship and triumph, the book launch of "Becoming Sheroes: Stories of Heartstrong Women" last Saturday, March 16, was an extraordinary celebration of women's spirit.
Filipina Sheroes, led by multi-awarded professional, author, and speaker Monica Maralit, successfully unveiled their book, featuring a collection of stories about the inner strength and determination of women to overcome challenges and become heroes in their own right.

"I want to thank each one of our Sheroes who took the time to write the book and share their stories. I hope that their journey will be able to encourage readers, especially young women, to embrace their strengths and strive for their purpose as they navigate the complexities of life," said Maralit.

Co-authored by Maralit with 14 other exceptional Filipinas, the book showcases the possibilities that arise from embracing one’s journey and recognizing the strength that comes from overcoming life's challenges.
Among the other Filipina Sheroes profiled in the book are Marissa Atienza, Karen Batungbacal, Rebecca Bustamante, Kristine Calleja, Ayhee Campos, Laurice Chiongbian, Mawi Fojas de Ocampo, Nica Jones, Shawntel Nieto, Arizza Nocum, Paulynn Sicam, Unyx Sta. Ana, Stephanie Tumampos, and Sharon Vaswani.
During the event, Maralit also introduced the first batch of female youth scholars from the Victoria Heartstrong Organization who will be supported through the book’s proceeds. The Victoria Heartstrong Foundation is a nonprofit organization founded by Maralit, in honor of her mother and grandmother, aiming to empower teenage girls in underprivileged backgrounds through education.

"In the coming months, we will also be doing other programs for our scholars, specifically on health and wellness, and leadership. This program is not just about giving money but it’s about helping them build a sustainable way of life so that they can make the right choices for their future," she said.
