Sharifa Begum and Imdad Basit Launched the She Awards in 2018 to celebrate “everyday women” across the UK.
The annual awards – held last week on, International Women’s Day – aimed to “recognise and celebrate the achievements of women from all walks of life”, said Sharifa Begum.
Over 200 people gathered in London to celebrate the contributions that women continue to make across the spectrum from business to community and sports. These awards were presented by Bela Shah
“We deliberately represent women from diverse backgrounds – it’s about celebrating everyday women who wouldn’t normally get the red carpet experience, and making them feel like celebrities.” Imdad Basit.
