Hard to put into words how special our Goss Women of the Year Awards were yesterday 🥹 Creating these unique awards has been such a passion project of mine, I continually felt that every day women, who work so hard behind the scenes, for little to no recognition, deserve their moment in the spotlight. As do the many outstanding athletes that this country produces, add some incredible female journalists, tenacious business women and artists into the mix, and you have what our awards are all about. Nobody knows what to expect until they walk into the room and everyone says the same thing after; “I am so inspired”, “these women are incredible”. It is so important women pull each other up instead of tearing each other down. We have it hard enough with the constant gender imbalance, misogyny and actual threats to our safety and lives, it’s so important that as women we come together and change the narrative, that women are primary not secondary, that we are worth celebrating. A huge thank you to the incredible nominees and winners who were with us yesterday to celebrate, including Kellie Harrington, Rhasidat Adeleke (I loved seeing so many women queuing up for selfies with you both), Ella and Jo Sarah McInerney Natasha O’Brien and so many more ✨ Without incredible women like you, these awards would not exist. I continue to be blown away by the sheer determination, passion and love you all have in your soul and all the good you do in the world. Thank you to Gráinne Seoige for always being the most compassionate host ❤️ Thanks to my team for all the hard work put in on the lead up to the awards as well as on the day itself. Special shout out to Kendra Becker for all the time and effort she puts into making sure each nominee’s stories are told so well on the site and the emotional conversations had with our Local category nominees🙏🏻 Thanks also to our fantastic judges this year Muireann O’Connell Frances Fitzgerald Valerie Roe Hazel Chu Jacqui Hurley Gráinne McElwain Norah Casey Julie Dilger Debbie O'Donnell and of course Kendra Becker ✨ So delighted to have Women's Aid Ireland to be back on board again as our official charity partner, a huge thank you to Sarah Benson for her powerful key note speech and I’m so glad we raised over €6.1k for them on the day.
