Honoring Outstanding Women
Spotlighting women of color who exemplify excellence in their spheres of influence.
The Shades of Success 2023 Calendar shines a spotlight on women of color who exemplify excellence in their spheres of influence: from business and industry to media and ministry, to medical, education and more.
Our professional calendar, published annually, includes both photographs and a biography of each honoree. It serves as an important educational tool during both Black History Month and Women’s History Month and can be showcased at trade shows, business expos and other events. It is also of great use to teachers in the classroom and media professionals seeking experts to interview in various fields.
