The awards took place on Friday, March 10, at the Guildhall in Portsmouth and saw people from across the city come together to celebrate inspirational women who have been doing amazing things with their time.
There were 14 awards up for grabs on the night and the event was the biggest it has ever.
Roni Edwards, founder of Pamodzi, said: ‘Our award recipients are not winners in the traditional sense. We are not celebrating the most elite performers, but those who make a positive impact to their respective community.
‘Behind every woman or girl there is a tribe of people supporting her in different ways, so the award is the product of that whole tribe.’
Hosted by The Fabulous Josh and TamBam, the night consisted of a display of local talent, with performances from Kailani Dance Company, singer Hannah Roper, Batala Portsmouth, Twirlversity and more.
Some of the recipients included Sophie Cartledge, founder of Hormones on the Blink, for Emerging Business and Hirina Kaur, who came to Portsmouth with her family to escape the Taliban, who won the Inspirational Young Person Award.
