Celebrating Women HERstory Month 2026

For the past 5 years, our Let's Get To Know Her series has been an incredible journey into the lives of inspiring women from all walks of life. This March, we're continuing this empowering tradition!

What's Let's Get To Know Her?
Every day throughout March, we'll showcase 6-10 phenomenal women. It's a platform for you to share your story, your passion, a story of perserverance and/or your business with the world.

Connect and Inspire
This initiative isn't just about profiles; it's about connecting people globally. Over the last 5 years, we saw friendships rekindled and long-lost family members found. Your story might be the missing link someone's been searching for!

Business Opportunities
Beyond personal connections, Let's Get To Know Her is a powerful tool for business. Showcase what you do, how you do it, and let others discover the amazing services you offer. Last year's success stories speak for themselves!

How to Participate:
Submit your bio and a photo below to be featured. Help us highlight the incredible women shaping our world. Email us at [email protected] with questions and be a part of something extraordinary.

Thank You in Advance!
A massive shoutout to all the remarkable women who have been a part of this series before, and to those joining for the first time: Thank you in advance! Your stories matter, your businesses deserve recognition, and together, we'll make March a month of celebration and connection.

Let's Get To Know HER!

💜 The 10th Annual Purple Gala 💜

Saturday, October 18 | Suite Sixty | 7:00 PM

This year marks 10 powerful years of raising awareness, giving hope, and standing together in the fight against domestic violence. 💜

Your presence makes a difference — because every ticket sold, every story shared, and every moment of unity helps someone know they are not alone.

This event isn’t just for women. Men need our support too.
Domestic violence does not discriminate, and healing begins when we show up for one another — without judgment, without politics, and with open hearts.

Let’s come together to honor survivors, remember those we’ve lost, and continue the conversation that changes lives. Together, we are stronger. Together, we are unmasking the silence. 💪🏽

Awareness Saves Lives

Many victims don’t realize they are in an abusive situation until they hear others share their stories. By openly talking about domestic violence, we help people recognize the signs such as emotional, physical, financial, and psychological as well as encourage them to seek help sooner.

Join Women in Philanthropy for a powerful Lunch & Learn with Tina Torres at United Way of the Midlands. Tina will spread awareness on domestic violence, with hosts Wanda Austin and Tiffany Johnson. Lunch will be provided! Click on the link for more information!

Conversations save lives. Whether it’s at the dinner table, in schools, at community events, or in workplaces, the more we talk about domestic violence, the more we can protect, support, and empower those affected.

10/02/2025

Conversations are NECESSARY when it comes to Domestic Violence!

Silence only protects the abuser. TALKING about it brings awareness, education, and HOPE. 💜

Conversations help us:
Break the silence & reduce stigma
Recognize the warning signs
Create safe spaces for survivors
Share resources & push for change

Remember: domestic violence isn’t always physical. It can be emotional, financial, or psychological. The more we talk, the more we empower, protect, and save lives.

Let’s keep the conversation going. Together, we can make a difference.

10/01/2025

Building Safe Spaces

When survivors hear their community, leaders, and loved ones openly discussing domestic violence, it signals that help is available and that it’s safe to seek it. Conversations reduce stigma and create networks of support.

Why These Conversations Matter

When it comes to youth and young adults, domestic and dating violence is a conversation we cannot afford to skip.

Early intervention saves lives.
Awareness builds prevention.
Safe spaces empower young voices.

That’s why we’re inviting teens, young adults, parents, advocates, and community leaders to join us for the Teen & Young Adult Dating Violence Awareness Brunch.

At this brunch, we will talk about:

The difference between healthy love and unhealthy control
Recognizing the early red flags of abuse
How peers can support each other in safe, positive ways
Resources available for those impacted

Date: Sunday, October 19th
Time: 1:30 PM
Location: Venue817, Columbia, SC
