In celebration of MEGA’s 31st Anniversary, we gather the personalities who are turning heads for their impact on fashion, art, entertainment, sports, and society
Why is a woman worthy of being watched? We have been begging to answer this question since time immemorial, and the answers have evolved through the years. Today, the response is this—Why not? Why not, if women are spearheading change? Why not if their narratives carry talent, innovation, and grit? Why not if we are digging beyond their stature, status, and style?
As MEGA continues to champion the power of women from all ages, backgrounds, and stories, we present 10 women who have contributed to fashion, art, entertainment sports, and more. From personalities climbing their way to success to artists introducing their new era of growth, they are ready to face the world in their own terms.
Keep your eyes peeled as we reveal why looking their way is just the beginning of change.
