Wendy Kim is an international best-selling author, dynamic public speaker, and certified educator in inclusion and belonging. As the CEO of Beyond Blending In, Wendy empowers organizations to create cultures where everyone feels valued, heard, and equipped to lead. Her company specializes in two core areas: inclusive leadership training for executives, senior leaders, and managers, and culturally authentic leadership development for underrepresented groups.

As a queer, bisexual Asian woman with roots in a conservative evangelical upbringing, Wendy understands firsthand what it means to navigate spaces where you don’t always feel like you belong. She now channels those experiences into helping others embrace their full identities and thrive as leaders. Her work builds bridges across differences and drives meaningful change in workplaces and communities.

Her book, Beyond Blending In: An Immigrant Daughter’s Guide to Overcoming Cultural Bonds for a Life of Authenticity and Abundance, is an Amazon international bestseller, praised for its raw honesty and empowering message.

A former missionary fluent in Japanese and an active board member of Over the Influence Recovery — a nonprofit supporting moms in recovery from substance abuse — Wendy brings a global, compassionate, and grounded lens to every stage she steps onto.
