Mimi Kwa

Biography

There is a global shift in collective consciousness to find our truth.  Imagine being able to harness that search for your own individual truth to guide you in your everyday life. To be happier. To be healthier. To achieve your goals and reach your potential. Mimi’s story will inspire you to do that. Her experience at the coal face of news and current affairs as Channel Nine’s first Asian presenter and later an anchor to 40 countries has given her rare insight in to life in front of the camera in pursuit of journalistic truth.

As a brand ambassador for BMW and the face of Specsavers, Schweppes and Coles campaigns, Mimi has first hand knowledge of what a successful brand story requires to retain trust market share.

Presenting for NAB and media training Wespac and Kennedy Luxury Brands as well as celebrities on The Block and Married at First Sight has given Mimi the unique opportunity to help her clients manage image and message staying mindful of integrity and honesty.

Beyond Mimi’s professional expertise, she is in the process of writing her own personal story of childhood trauma to explore the attainment of happiness, health and potential by finding and facing truth.

Her mum was a schizophrenic and her father suffered numerous personality disorders having lived through war and having 32 brothers and sisters.

Mimi’s journalistic quest for truth and transparency in her many intriguing television interviews is fascinating but when Mimi turns the magnifying glass on her own life to find her personal truth, it is compelling and inspiring.

She uses her extensive professional and personal experience and knowledge to engage and inspire audiences to not only embrace the new era of transparency and trust, but also to master it.
