Welcoming Our Industry Partner: Confederation of Indian Industry (CII)

Some partnerships arrive as announcements. Others arrive as alignment. Welcoming the Confederation of Indian Industry as our Industry Partner for RISE 2026 feels like the latter. It feels considered, intentional, and rooted in something much bigger than a single event. Because when we speak about women stepping into global markets, we are not speaking lightly. We are speaking about navigating systems that have been built over decades, understanding the language of international trade, and finding the confidence to sit at tables where decisions are made. Ambition is not the barrier. Access often is. And this is where CII becomes significant. For over a century, CII has worked…

Founder’s Reflection: What Happens After the Nominations Close

Nominations for the She Inspires Awards 2026 closed on 31st March, and as always, we ask for a couple of weeks before nominee notifications go out. It’s a question I know people sometimes wonder about, why does it take that long? The truth is, this is the part that isn’t seen. Because what comes in is not just a clean list of names and details. It is layered, human, imperfect, and at times, quite fascinating. When you begin to go through thousands of nominations, you start to notice patterns. One of the most striking ones is when a single individual is…

AI, Women, and the Future of Leadership

There is something quietly unsettling about the way artificial intelligence has entered our lives. Not with a single defining moment, but through a series of small shifts that have slowly changed how we work, decide, create, and even think. It is already influencing who gets seen, who gets selected, what gets prioritised, and how opportunities are shaped. And yet, for many, it still feels like something happening at a distance. Technical. Complex. Not quite theirs to engage with. And that is where the real tension sits. Because the question is not whether AI matters. It already does. The question is…

She Inspires Impact Leaders List 2026: A Beginning Rooted in Purpose

On International Women’s Day 2026, we introduced the She Inspires Impact Leaders List, not as a moment of celebration alone, but as a statement of intent. In a world where recognition is often tied to titles, visibility, or position, we wanted to create something that looked beyond all of that and asked a far more meaningful question: what is the impact you are creating, and who is it reaching beyond yourself? This list was never designed to be a ranking, nor was it open for nominations. It is a curated recognition, carefully shaped to reflect women whose work is creating real, consistent,…

The Window Is Closing: She Inspires Awards 2026 Nominations Close on 31 March

Each year, the She Inspires Awards bring forward stories that might otherwise remain quietly woven into the fabric of communities, businesses and organisations. Stories of women who lead with courage, create opportunities for others, build enterprises, support families, challenge barriers and shape change in ways that ripple far beyond their own lives. For over a decade, She Inspires has celebrated women who are rising, rebuilding, innovating and serving. Some are founders and leaders of thriving organisations. Others are educators, carers, community champions, creatives or professionals quietly transforming the spaces they inhabit. Many never set out to seek recognition. Yet their impact deserves…

Money Lessons Take Flight on World Book Day at Gaskell Primary School

A colourful butterfly fluttered into the hall at Gaskell Primary School in Bolton on World Book Day – but this was no ordinary character from a storybook. Meet Molly the Money Butterfly, a playful and purposeful character created to help children understand one of life’s most important but often overlooked skills: how to manage money. Around 60 pupils gathered in the hall as Molly arrived with a message built around three simple ideas: Save, Share and Spend. Through stories, activities and lively discussion, children explored how money works and why understanding it early can help them make thoughtful choices later in life. Behind the bright butterfly…

Conversations that Matter: International Women’s Day at Marks & Spencer

International Women’s Day often brings with it a sense of celebration — a moment to recognise the progress women have made across sectors and societies. But beyond the headlines and hashtags, its real power lies in the conversations it creates. Earlier this month, I had the privilege of speaking at the London headquarters of Marks & Spencer as part of their International Women’s Day programme. The event brought together a panel of women recognised through the Daily Mail Inspirational Women Awards, each representing different causes and journeys but united by a shared commitment to making a difference. It was an…

From the Cupboard to the Canvas: Coffee, Turmeric and the Art of Slowing Down

At Bollywood Bliss, creativity has never been about extravagance or perfection. It has always been about access, intention and presence. We believe art should feel welcoming, not intimidating; grounding, not performative. It should meet you where you are — in your kitchen, at your table, in the quiet corners of your day. That is why we introduced our Coffee and Turmeric Art Series. There is something quietly powerful about working with materials that already exist in your cupboard. Coffee offers earthy, grounding tones that teach patience through layering and dilution. Turmeric brings warmth, luminosity and cultural resonance. Together, they transform…

Where Recognition Becomes Legacy – This March, Choose Visibility

There is a difference between applause and acknowledgment. Applause is fleeting. It fills a room and fades.Recognition, when done with intention, becomes something far more enduring. It becomes legacy. This is the distinction. When we speak about SheInspires, we are not speaking about a generic awards ceremony or a single evening under lights. We are speaking about an ecosystem, one built on visibility, credibility, connection, and reinvestment. Nominations close on 31st March, and as we move through International Women’s Day season, when women’s voices are amplified across the globe, this moment calls for more than celebration. It calls for action. Our…
