Amy Chien-Yu Wang 王千毓

Amy is a dynamic storyteller who happily traverses between the East and West. Many years ago, when Amy's career as a journalist was taking off in Sydney, she made the decision of moving back to Brisbane to reunite with her then newly-wed husband. Two children later, Amy lost her identity, possibilities of a fulfiling future as she navigated traditional Chinese expectations of her role as a mother, wife and woman against her own career aspirations.

It wasn't surprising that Amy soon developed post-natal depression with her mental state hitting rock bottom during 2020 when COVID-19 shook the world. They say that "what doesn't break you, makes you stronger". Amid chaos and devastation, Amy found her purpose of healing inter-generational hurts stemming from traditional cultural expectations versus westernised values amongst migrants like her. She vows to empower, encourage and energise others to connect with their purpose and live a more fulfiling, exciting life. 

As the former president of a youth leadership development organisation, Amy is experienced in training and coaching people to reach their goals and transform towards their full potential.  Being a lifelong career storyteller, Amy's mission is to heal one story at a time through all of her creative endeavours. 

She is currently committed to turning AI May, a full-length bilingual play that highlights intergenerational trauma on stage. Meanwhile, Amy is also working on a hilarious healing comedy on migrant men and a children's play.
