About the Women Legacy Award
The Women Legacy Award was created to honor the women whose lives change lives—the leaders, nurturers, visionaries, healers, survivors, and quiet powerhouses who embody the spirit of STYLETAINMENT: courage, creativity, resilience, and generational impact.
This award celebrates the women who don’t just live for today, but are actively building a legacy that will echo through families, communities, and cultures for years to come.
From boardrooms to prayer rooms, classrooms to kitchens, stages to street corners—legacy is being written every single day by women who dare to show up fully as themselves.
The Women Legacy Award is our way of saying:
“We see you. We honor you. Your legacy matters.”
