HerFlow Foundation launches inaugural EmpowerHer Award

HERFLOW Foundation introduced the EmpowerHer Award at Celebrate Her 2025, marking a new milestone in recognising and fostering young leadership.

Supported by the Canadian High Commission, this inaugural award honours young girls who are already making a profound impact in their communities through advocacy, service, and leadership.

The EmpowerHer Award is designed to highlight the remarkable efforts of young change agents who prove that service knows no age. These inspiring individuals use their time, talents, and resources to advocate for important causes, support those in need, and lead initiatives that create meaningful change. By recognising their extraordinary contributions, the HerFlow Foundation aims to amplify their voices, inspire their peers, and provide them with opportunities to expand their impact.

This year’s honourees exemplify the power of youth leadership and community engagement. They are Maddison Goode, Nia Peddie, Bella Williams, Cassidy Cato and Kezia Beckford.

A special highlight of this year’s EmpowerHer Award is The Best Working Girls (BWG), a group of five young philanthropists from St Hugh’s Preparatory School who took extraordinary initiative to support Jamaican farmers affected by Hurricane Beryl. Inspired by a United Way initiative, these 10- and 11-year-olds organised a bake sale, using their skills and creativity to raise funds for disaster relief.

“The EmpowerHer Award is more than just a recognition; it is a call to action for young leaders to continue making a difference,” said Shelly-Ann Weeks, founder and executive director of the HerFlow Foundation.

“These young women are proof that leadership is not defined by age but by the willingness to serve, uplift, and create change. We also applaud their parents for supporting their passion.”
