Reach Her Inc was founded by Maryann Tsai with a deep passion to empower women from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds to build confidence, develop skills, and pursue self-employment pathways. Maryann personally witnessed her mother become a single mother overnight when her father passed away from cancer. This lived experience profoundly shaped her understanding of resilience, financial vulnerability, and the importance of support systems for women during times of crisis, inspiring her lifelong commitment to supporting women from underrepresented communities.

Having also experienced firsthand the challenges of navigating career uncertainty and cultural expectations, Maryann understood how isolating and overwhelming these barriers can be. Her journey has not been linear. Like many women, she faced self-doubt, career pivots, and personal challenges that shaped her perspective on growth. Through these experiences, she recognised the importance of mentorship, community, and practical skills.

Motivated to create change, she established Reach Her Inc as a community-driven organisation supporting women to move from uncertainty to confidence and from ideas to sustainable self-employment. Her vision is to create inclusive spaces where women feel supported, valued, and equipped to pursue their goals and strengthen their communities.
