The panel discussion brought many to tears as the traditional rivalry of women’s magazines was non-existent, in the never before seen display of unity amongst female giants in the media space.
The NFAs aim to shed a light on the opportunities to foster strength through adversity, build new alliances, and uplift women. The New Faces Awards sees us recognise the work of trailblazing powerhouses, whose tireless activism, campaigning and conviction continue to make the world a happier, safer and better place for women.
