Faith Tang
Author , Founder of Confidence Kits Collective & Lifora Global
I’m a Vancouver-based student, dedicated to sharing my journey in the hope of inspiring youth and individuals alike to discover confidence, courage, and self-acceptance.
Living with Nevus of Ota, a rare birthmark that made my face visibly different, left me feeling isolated rather than unique. This book is my story: a journey from shame to self-acceptance, from hiding to healing.
I share the ups and downs—times I tried to escape who I was, only to fall deeper into insecurity, and the moments of light when I found friendship, love, and a renewed sense of confidence. Along the way, I discovered ways not only to lift myself up but to support others facing their own battles.
My hope is that by reading this, you’ll see a part of your own story—and find the strength to embrace what makes you, you.
Growing Together

About The Author
Born in Hong Kong and raised in the nature-rich regions of Vancouver, Canada. I’ve been passionate about art, painting, and writing from an early age, and enjoy spending time with my siblings. In addition to my creative pursuits, I hold a passion for basketball, golfing, and practicing taekwondo, in which I have a black belt.
My personal journey with insecurity and self-doubt inspired my first book, a reflection on self-acceptance and confidence. This experience also led to the founding of Confidence Kits Collective, a non profit organization that empowers teens facing self-doubt, or mental health challenges by delivering personalized “confidence kits” filled with peer-written encouragement, self-care tools, and coping resources. Designed by teens for teens. Through these experiences, I founded Lifora Global Mentorship Lab, a weekly program at the West Vancouver Community Centre where members receive mentorship, hear from young entrepreneurs and guest speakers, and are supported in creating their own initiatives—fostering a safe space for authentic connection and confidence-building.
