Your Moment to Shine! Phase One Nominees Announced!

For the first time ever, we are announcing SheInspires Awards nominations in two phases!

Wounds to Wisdom by Lisa Adams

The book Grit & Grace was launched this month, on International Women’s Day. This book is more than just a collection of stories, it's a movement of strength, resilience and empowerment. Within the chapters of this book, you will find a collection of inspiring journeys of women who make a difference in our world. Grit and Grace is a testament to the strength, courage, and resilience of women everywhere.

Screenshot The day began with a quiet sense of purpose, the kind that builds not in noise, but in anticipation.

Pat Wilson’s words carried weight as she spoke of endurance, the power of pushing forward even when no one is watching. Zaynab Jogi built on this, delving into the intersection of&...

Cooking Up Dreams: Celebrating Women Entrepreneurs in Food

Food is more than just something we eat—it’s a story, a journey, a connection. It’s the warmth of a family recipe passed down through generations, the hustle of a small kitchen growing into something bigger, the courage to take a passion and turn it into a business. This February, we had the absolute pleasure of bringing these stories to life with Cooking Up Dreams: Stories of Passion, Food, and Business, a special video series by SheInspires in collaboration with Taste of Bolton. Featuring Dipti Modi, Diana Portoro, and Gayle Coleman, three incredible women who have built businesses around their love for food, this series was a celebration of resilience, creativity, and the entrepreneurial spirit.
