SheKnows Media Launches 100 Inspiring Women
Annual Editorial Series Honors Individuals Who Are Making an
Extraordinary Impact in Their Fields and Communities
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SheKnows
Media, a leading women’s media company with nearly 79 million
unique visitors a month* and 246 million social media fans and
followers, today announced that it has launched its inaugural 100
Inspiring Women editorial series to honor individuals who
are making significant, positive contributions to their fields and
communities.
Each group of 20 women, distinguished by various categories, will be
recognized on SheKnows.com
with a feature on how they’ve taken action to inspire and help others.
Education is the theme of this first set of 100 Inspiring Women,
which pays tribute to top female teachers, education administrators and
founders of schools and education-based programs around the world. In
upcoming months SheKnows will reveal 100 inspiring women in five
categories through the New Year, featuring women in science and
technology next.
“I am honored and humbled to be chosen to represent women in education.
I find inspiration from my colleagues, both present and former, who
refuse to accept the status quo and consistently ask, ‘What else can I
do?'” said Kirsten Ecker, Co-Director of Academics for SAGA
Innovations National and International.
The inaugural group of inspiring women were selected by SheKnows
editors, community members, and the kids in SheKnows Media’s
mission-based Hatch
program.
“There are countless hardworking women waking up each morning, setting
out to do their jobs and just get through the day. While so many women
may not realize it, it is likely they are inspiring to someone around
them,” said SheKnows Editor-in-Chief Amy Boshnack. “You don’t
have to be a state senator or a neurologist to be an inspiration to
others, and we are committed to paying tribute to the everyday heroes
among us.”
The 100 Inspiring Women feature is an extension of the company’s Experts
Among Us program, a 21,000-member strong program that includes a
diverse mix of celebrities, bloggers, social media influencers,
activists and everyday hand-raisers. Read about the women who made the 100
Inspiring Women cut this month here,
