Hosted by Good Hope FM’s The Morning Show team – Leigh-Anne Williams, Sandra Rosenberg, and Delucia Daniels – the Warrior Woman Awards are widely regarded as one of South Africa’s most prestigious recognition platforms.

A Transformative Festival of Empowerment
The partnership with WomenIN Festival 2025 marks a bold step forward.
This year’s theme, “LIMITLESS. No Labels. No Limits. No Apologies,” promises to set the tone for a two-day journey of leadership, collaboration, wellness, and innovation.
