31st annual Gloria Awards: A Salute to Women of Vision

The Gloria Awards, named for Gloria Steinem, one of the organization’s founding mothers, is a yearly celebration to benefit Ms. Foundation grantee partners around the country and to recognize leaders who have made an indelible impact on the gender justice movement at the local, state, and national level.

This year’s Gloria Awards will be honoring award-winning filmmaker and writer dream hampton and Marvel’s Vice President of Content & Character Development Sana Amanat. Ms. hampton will receive the Woman of Vision Award, honoring feminist leaders who create positive change, and Ms. Amanat will receive the Marie C. Wilson Award, named after the former CEO and President of the Foundation to recognize young, trailblazing feminists.

In addition to Ms. hampton and Ms. Amanat, the Ms. Foundation will honor leaders from two grantee-partner organizations who have impacted the women’s movement in unparalleled ways. Angeline Echeverria of El Pueblo, Inc. in North Carolina and Deon Haywood of Women With A Vision in Louisiana will be recognized for their work igniting changes in their communities to ensure equity and opportunity for all women. Additionally, youth activists Charlotte Iradukunda, Jessica Hernandez, and Layla Bagwell of the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual & Domestic Violence will receive the Peggy C. Charren Free to Be You and Me Award.
