“We show up, speak up, and lift each other up.
That’s where change begins.”
projects
The ripple starts here. The space for nonprofit collaborations and hype-worthy missions that uplift women and ignite impact. These projects elevate voices, serve communities, and turn purpose into power—because fulfillment isn’t just personal, it’s collective. With a big heart and an even bigger mission, this is where special projects meet social change—with women always at the center.
Impact is the trifecta-
hype, heart & a mic!
Celebrating women who shine—and help others shine, too.
A spotlight on women who embody the BADE mindset: Be Anything, Do Everything—and they do it in service of others. These women uplift their communities, lead with joy, and make impact without asking for applause. This event is our way of giving it to them anyway.
Why it matters-
Visibility is powerful. So is recognition.
She Illuminates isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence, purpose, and the ripple effect of one woman living fully and freely. When we honor these women, we’re also saying: we see you, we value you, and we’re following your light.
How honorees were selected-
Each honoree was nominated by someone who witnessed their impact firsthand—whether through bold leadership, everyday generosity, or quiet transformation. We reviewed every nomination with care, looking for women who lead with heart, give back with intention, and light up every space they enter.
Nominations are now closed, but their stories are just getting started.
