The world is rapidly changing and so is today’s generation. They are redefining boundaries and continuously challenging themselves to do what people tell them they can’t do. They are breaking gender stereotypes, conquering what seems to be impossible, and rising above insecurities. More importantly, they have a deep understanding of how digital technology may be leveraged to create new solutions and opportunities in hopes of finding a better way to do things.
With this in mind, Samsung recently launched #TeamUnstoppable, a campaign that encourages Gen Z in Southeast Asia to be part of designing solutions to the challenges they confront. As part of the initiative, the brand brought together a group of young icons who are passionate about gaming, food, sustainability, education, and fashion to share their stories in the hope of encouraging others to take action and become involved in making a positive impact in their communities.
Since the launch of the campaign last year, #TeamUnstoppable proves that there are no limitations. The first batch of #TeamUnstoppable icons showed that it’s okay to dare and be different. This year’s batch of Samsung’s #TeamUnstoppable has evolved from being “inspos” to captains involved in social causes. This year’s #TeamUnstoppable is composed of go-getters who not only defy boundaries but also help others reach new heights. Samsung brought together six inspiring industry leaders around the world to share their Unstoppable stories in the hope of furthering their advocacy.
Team Unstoppable 2.0 includes Chau Bui, a fashion content creator from Vietnam who redefines clothing standards and aspires to raise awareness of wellness and sustainable fashion. She is joined by Jason Chua, a chef from Singapore who launched his Hawker stall at age of 26. Jason goes beyond the kitchen to use his skills for good by providing free meals and livelihood training to different communities. Education advocate Jerome Polin from Indonesia also joins the team to share his advocacy for improving the country’s education system. Meanwhile, actor and youth leader Jabir Meftah from Malaysia rallies behind climate advocacies. Actor and veterinarian Neng Sarun is also on board with his advocacy of improving animals’ quality of life. And from the Philippines, our very own Karla Golosinda, popularly known as Queen Wrecker, takes part in upholding the country’s gaming scene and sharing her story of how she uses her platform to help local communities.
Karla Golosinda, or Queen Wrecker on the gaming stage, has achieved massive success as one of the country’s top gaming personalities. She is best known for her game streams on social media, having amassed over 1.8 million followers on Facebook alone. She continues to showcase her authentic self on her platforms through highly engaging live streams, and content that shows glimpses of her daily life. Golosinda is a testament to how one can defy barriers to do good. Before making a name for herself in the gaming scene, she entered the theater as an actress and took on part-time jobs to help support her studies and her family’s needs. This humble background is what inspires her to take action and use her success to help others. Now, she is dedicated to continuing a movement to support local communities, especially in times of natural disasters and calamities. There are many misconceptions about gaming and its association with violence, but Golosinda believes that gaming can also become the “force” that allows people to do good.
It all starts with a flip of courage, a dash of flexibility, and perseverance multiplied by a thousandfold to overcome any challenge. And, after facing personal woes, this behavior ripples and influences the people around you.
Samsung believes in the grit of the Unstoppable generation and acknowledges that every story of persistence deserves to be recognized. So now, tell us yours. Share with us your own #Unstoppable story for a chance to win the latest Galaxy devices.
