Women are awesome in their own way, and that’s a given. The women in our lives are strong, bold, resourceful, talented and brave.
“As long as you like yourself, as long as your family likes you, as long as you are good at what you do, your staff respect you, and your board have trust in you, that’s what is important.” – Lucille Ball
Based in New York, Women Icon Awards 2021, the prestigious event has once again brought all the women across the world to appreciate them to step up to the next level. Surprisingly, our Malaysian Indian Women have made us proud by bagging awards from the well-know organisation.
Our Women Icon Awards were established to honour the women who make a difference in our lives; role models that inspire us and utilise their platform to help others. From the women who create ground-breaking entertainment that moves us, to the women who are making huge strides to address gender inequity, to the women who are encouraging change in their communities, women are making a difference.
Without further ado, meet our remarkable Women Icon Awardee 2021:
