Conceptualised in 2019 in observance of International Women’s Day, the Celebrate Her initiative was created by HerFlow Foundation to spotlight Jamaican women whose extraordinary service, leadership, and compassion often go unseen. 

Through the HerFlow Unsung SheroAwards, the initiative has grown into a nationally recognised platform celebrating everyday women who are creating meaningful, lasting change in their communities.

Since its inception, Celebrate Her has honoured 93 HerFlow Unsung Sheroes, recognising women across multiple sectors for their unwavering commitment to service:

• 2019 – 13 community organizers

• 2021 – 15 guidance counsellors

• 2022 – 15 school nurses

• 2023 – 20 Jamaican women

• 2024 – 15 Jamaican women

• 2025 – 15 guidance counsellors

The inaugural Celebrate Her awards in 2019 recognised 13 outstanding Jamaican women whose groundbreaking community work set the foundation for what would become a growing legacy of impact. As the initiative evolved, its focus expanded to respond to national priorities—most notably during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Looking ahead, Celebrate Her 2026 will honour 10 Jamaican women who stood at the forefront of community recovery in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa. These women led relief efforts, mobilised resources, provided care, and helped their communities rebuild with dignity, resilience, and hope.
