Recap of 2025 inspiHER Gala
The 2025 inspiHER Gala was a sold-out celebration of women’s achievements, leadership, and creativity in honour of International Women’s Day. Guests were moved by powerful stories during the “Accelerating Growth Through Action” speaker series, inspired by the presentation of the Naseem Somani Memorial Leadership Excellence Award, and immersed in the vibrant works of local female artists. This impactful evening wasn’t just about inspiration, it sparked real change through the Soles4Souls campaign, which collected thousands of shoes to support women, children, and sustainability efforts around the globe.
