THANK YOU FOR JOINING US!
Thursday, March 21, 2024
Women have power. Their voices, their stories, their passion, and empathy can influence culture, policy, and laws for the good of all.
The women we celebrate this year have an inner drive that fuels their accomplishments and rekindles the spirit in others.
In conjunction with Women’s Leadership Forum, we’d like to recognize the top women you admire (as identified by you!) in our community and our industry.
These are women from all generations and walks of life who have inspired us and helped ignite the passion in us. They’ve led by example, doing good for you, for others, for the community, for the world. You admire them for THEIR actions big and small, using their voice, their passion, their energy to ignite others, to create impact.
For the tens of thousands of women experiencing poverty or homelessness in Boston, basic feminine hygiene and care products are seen as a luxury. A cost they must often forgo in place of food or shelter. This drives inequity. And this inequity needs to end.
Many of us take for granted purchasing tampons, pads, underwear, shampoo, deodorant, bras, or toothpaste – items that seem small but hold great significance in how confident or dignified we feel as women.
This year, we asked attendees to join us in a Drive to collect Wishlist items for Rosie’s Place – a local multi-service community center that was also the first shelter for women in the U.S.
And our attendees rose to the challenge!
We received over 600 donated items along with hundreds of dollars in donated gift cards.

There is a benefit to women when we show men as capable caregivers with equal responsibility in the home—it becomes a norm and not the exception to the rule. Similarly when we show all types of gender roles. There is benefit to women when we represent intersectionality in the media—it creates space for women to hone their own feminine identity. It also creates a real authenticity for brands.
