Women’s empowerment is the process of granting women the same opportunities to participate in all areas of society, including politics, the economy, healthcare, and education. History shows that women have played a crucial role in the development of societies. Since women comprise half of the world’s population and, thus, half of its potential, it is our duty to empower them so they can contribute to the advancement of their nations.
Dr. Richardson is the founder and CEO of Face of Woha, Women of Heart Awards-WOHA, and Gentlemen of Heart Awards-GOHA. These initiatives aim to uplift, educate, enlighten, empower, support, and celebrate positivity while promoting equality in social impact for humanity. She is also the founder of the Happy Mood Swagger Luxury Brand.

Every successful person has a painful story and every painful story has a successful ending. Dr. Richardson is a great example of this. She grew up in the West Indies on the little British Caribbean island of Anguilla. Because their families were not well off, she was overlooked despite her mother’s best attempts. It really moved her, and even as a little girl, she made the decision to strive for women’s empowerment. She became the lady she is today as a result of these traumatic events at a young age.

She began her career as a media personality, producer, and onstage hostess. Her rapid career success, which came about as a result of a great deal of perseverance and overcoming challenges, allowed her to follow her childhood ambition of empowering women. As a result, the Face of Woha, Women of Heart Awards, and Gentlemen of Heart Awards were established. She is currently recognized as one of the world’s most influential female leaders and advocates for women’s emancipation.
