GlowGetter International Women's Day Special: 5 Malaysian Women Who #AccelerateAction
At JUSTBCOS, we believe that confidence is more than skin deep—it’s the courage to take action, to create change, and to rewrite the rules. In concurrent with our monthly #GlowGetter series and International Women’s Month, we’ll honour women who #AccelerateAction in their industries and pave the way for others to rise.
Their work spans across leadership, wellness, entrepreneurship, and advocacy—all driven by a shared mission: to accelerate action towards a more inclusive and empowered future.
Spotlight on Women Leading the Way
Izzana Salleh | Breaking Barriers in Leadership
Izzana Salleh is a firm believer that potential—not outdated norms—should define a woman’s path. As a leader in the women’s empowerment space Project Girls4Girls (G4G) Malaysia, she and her team work to amplify female leadership, champion gender-responsive policies, and challenge systemic barriers that limit women’s opportunities.
Through her advocacy, Izzana has helped young women develop the courage, vision, skills, and network to step confidently into leadership roles. Whether through mentorship, policy advocacy, or economic strategies prioritising inclusivity, her work ensures that women don’t just secure a seat at the table—they have a powerful voice in shaping the conversation.
For Izzana, the mission is clear: a future where no woman has to fight for a seat she rightfully deserves.
Sarah Lian | Creating Safe Spaces for Women
As the founder of Supparetreat, Sarah Lian has been building safe spaces for women since 2018—spaces where they can reconnect with themselves, embrace their worth, and unlock their full potential.
What began as a business opportunity quickly evolved into something deeply personal. Witnessing the transformational power of self-discovery inspired her to keep creating environments where women feel seen, supported, and empowered. Through Supparetreat, Sarah continues cultivating a community of strength and self-belief, proving that when women uplift one another, they thrive together.
Nadia Nasimuddin | Redefining Self-Care for Women
For Nadia Nasimuddin, entrepreneurship has always been a passion, but her latest venture, POP Neutral, is particularly close to her heart.
POP Neutral is a natural body care brand catering to women at every stage of their journey—whether through prenatal, postnatal, or general body care. The idea was born from her own pregnancy experience, where she struggled to find effective stretch mark prevention products that were both clean and functional. After formulating her own natural oil blends, she saw their impact firsthand and felt a deep urge to share them with others.
Her goal is simple: to offer women safe, effective skincare solutions that support them through the evolving phases of womanhood.
Sonya Danita Charles | Changing the Narrative on Beauty
Sonya Danita Charles is on a mission to challenge outdated beauty standards and promote inclusivity. As an advocate for representation and self-acceptance, she is redefining how society sees and celebrates diversity.
Having vitiligo, Sonya grew up feeling the weight of rigid beauty ideals. Instead of conforming, she chose to redefine the narrative—not just for herself but for others who have ever felt different. Through her work, she is raising awareness, fostering understanding, and inspiring confidence in people to embrace their uniqueness.
Amy Chong | Championing Wellness from the Inside Out
As CEO of Spring Pharma, Amy Chong is dedicated to creating solutions that help people live healthier, fuller lives. Through SpringHealth and JUSTBCOS, she bridges inner and outer wellness, ensuring that skincare and supplements go beyond beauty—supporting holistic well-being.
Her journey began with a desire to make a tangible impact. By developing products that prioritise science-backed formulations and real results, she continues to help individuals feel their best at any stage of their life.
For Amy, wellness isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling strong, confident, and radiant from within.
