Ernelita Dacumos is a speaker, writer, coach, and founder of Confidently You LLC, dedicated to helping women embrace boldness, radiance, and unshakable confidence. Already a published author in the Philippines (under a different name), one of her greatest goals was to write a book in the U.S. Unapologetically You was born from her deep desire to inspire women to reveal who they are, show up as they are, and awaken the confidence within them.

Her journey wasn’t always one of confidence. As an immigrant, she struggled with self-doubt, people-pleasing, and the belief that she wasn’t enough. But through personal growth and reflection, she discovered that confidence isn’t a trait—it’s a skill that can be developed. By prioritizing herself, setting boundaries, and owning her voice, she transformed her life, and now she helps others do the same.

Through writing, speaking, coaching, and facilitating transformational experiences, Ernelita provides women with practical tools to build confidence from the inside out. Beyond her work, she’s passionate about teaching, exploring beautiful landscapes, reading, movies, good food, and spending time by the beach, her happy place.
