Creating together to inspire
The Inspirational Women of Portsmouth Awards return to the Guildhall on Friday 19th March 2027 — celebrating the women and communities shaping our city.
Pamodzi Creatives contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 10, 11, 16 and 17 by reducing inequalities, strengthening communities, fostering inclusive spaces, and building meaningful partnerships for social impact.
The Inspirational Women of Portsmouth Awards celebrate individuals creating meaningful, positive change within their communities — whatever that looks like.
We intentionally don’t use the term “winners” because behind every woman or girl making an impact is a collective — a tribe of support, encouragement, and shared strength. Each award represents that collective journey.
TESTIMONIAL
“The Pamodzi Women Awards celebrate the achievements and community commitment of talented selfless women across our city, who continue to break down barriers and strive to change the narrative in our society. These events not only inspire and empower you to keep being yourself , they make you feel proud to be a woman!”
