She Inspires Me Awards 2022 Long Beach California
Photographers' Note
When I hear about an organization I always do my research on it before I agree to shoot it. On this one I knew of it but I did not know about it. I along with a lot of other people thought that this was just another reason for those in Hollywood to "pat each other on the back." But the more I read about it and the more I got to know the people behind it; the more I understood the mission. She Inspires Me Awards or SIMA for short is not just another "pat on back ceremony" the organizers really believe in what they are doing. They take that to heart. They choose the talent carefully and I realized that the moment I arrived. So if you follow no other organization this year please at least subscribe to their mailing list. Because unlike other award shows they are making a difference.
She Inspires Me Awards Mission Statement
Taken from their home page here https://www.sheinspiresmeawards.org/
"Our mission is to recognize and celebrate inspiring leaders who are making a huge difference in their communities across the globe through their humanitarian efforts and big hearts from all walks of life, continents, sexual orientations, ethnic backgrounds and professions – singers, actors, entertainers, public figures, philanthropists, visionaries, single mums entrepreneurs, teachers and change-makers.
She Inspires Me global movement was created in the midst of the pandemic crisis of 2020 and is very much focused on collaboration, networking, diversity and inclusion, mutual support and uplifting one another in these highly challenging times and beyond.
At the beginning of 2020, amidst the global pandemic crisis, a multi-award-winning serial entrepreneur and inspiring humanitarian, Ada Gartenmann came up with an idea to create a special community for women and men from around the world to inspire, uplift and appreciate one another during this crisis.
SIMA movement is growing really fast thanks to Ada and her dedicated creative team who are currently working on several exciting projects under SIMA's umbrella (SIMA Academy, Books, Conferences, Music, Fashion, Film Production, Entertainment) to ensure its positive message of unity and hope continues to inspire long after this global crisis is over.
We would like to say a special thank you to our SIMA community, Awardees and Ambassadors who have supported us in our non-for-profit projects, such as 'Quarentena and beyond' book.
