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…

Founder’s Reflection | February – The Quiet Before the Rise

February has always felt like a held breath, not the celebratory inhale of January resolutions, nor the confetti-coloured crescendo of March, but a quieter, more introspective space that sits in between, suspended, watching, preparing. The world may speak of love in February, roses, heart-shaped boxes, carefully curated gestures, and there is beauty in that. But for me, more so this year, February has been a month of fierce preparation. A month of deliberate thought. A month of building something that feels aligned rather than reactive. At the turn of every new year, when globally recognised publications release their most powerful, most influential,…

The Art of Lettering: Where Our Bollywood Bliss Journey Began

At Bollywood Bliss, we began not with grand canvases or elaborate materials, but with something beautifully simple — a pen, a page, and the intention to slow down. Lettering was our starting point because it meets everyone where they are. It does not require artistic training. It does not demand perfection. It simply asks for presence. In a world that moves quickly and often pulls women in multiple directions, the act of forming letters by hand becomes quietly powerful. It invites steadiness. It restores rhythm. It creates space. Our lettering series unfolded gently across four sessions, each building confidence not…
