The energy in the room was palpable; a sisterhood of dynamic women uplifting and pouring into one another, recognizing the power of their collective impact. But the night took an emotional turn when Egypt’s husband, Mike Jackson, surprised her by presenting the award with a heartfelt speech. His words reflected not only her excellence but the dedication, resilience, and leadership she embodies every day.
“My heart is overflowing with gratitude. To stand among such extraordinary women, each leaving their own powerful mark on the world, is both humbling and inspiring. This moment isn’t just about me; it’s about all of us stepping boldly into our purpose, lifting as we climb, and ensuring the next generation has even more room to soar. I am deeply thankful to Kathleen Bertrand and the BronzeLens Film Festival for not only honoring my journey but for creating a space where our voices, our creativity, and our impact can truly be seen, heard, and felt.” Egypt Sherrod stated.
The evening was more than just a celebration, it was a testament to the power of women supporting women, a reminder that true leadership is about lifting others as you climb. As Women’s History Month begins, Egypt’s recognition as a Vanguard honoree set the tone for a month of honoring, amplifying, and championing the voices of women who continue to make history.
