And, this year’s winners will continue that legacy, spotlighting the storytellers, journalists, producers, and creators driving meaningful change in media. The 50th anniversary celebration will highlight the profound impact of women’s voices across television, audio, streaming, and digital platforms.
The evening will not only recognize individual achievements but will serve as a call to action for continued progress in ensuring diverse voices remain at the forefront of media. Inside the gala, powerful stories of triumph, civil rights activism, and cultural shifters are celebrated, embodying the spirit and courage of Gracie Allen, the namesake of these prestigious awards.
Multi-platinum, GRAMMY-winning artist and songwriter Cam’s voice resonates louder than ever, contributing songwriting, production, and backing vocals to Beyoncé’s genre-shattering album Cowboy Carter. Cam was also a featured artist and songwriter on 070 Shake’s latest album Petrichor (2024) and is now preparing for the anticipated release of her new body of work with RCA Records in 2025.
Prolific and adored, Cam stepped into the spotlight in a big way with her critically acclaimed full-length debut, Untamed. The record not only bowed in the Top 15 of the Billboard Top 200 and registered at #2 on the Top Country Albums Chart, but it also yielded her the breakthrough #1 smash “Burning House.” It went triple-platinum, notched GRAMMY, ACM, and CMA award nominations. A vivid storyteller, clever wordsmith, and committed visionary, fans have only just begun to scratch the surface of Cam’s many facets. As she bravely steps into her next era, she’s welcoming everyone into a space that’s inclusive, invigorating, and inspiring.
