WISE Turned 2 on Women's Intl Day, 2025: "2 Years Wiser"

Writer: Max TselevichMax Tselevich

What an incredible journey it has been! In just two short years, WISE has blossomed into a thriving community where women and underrepresented individuals in showbiz can come together to share, learn, and uplift one another. Our theme, 2 Years Wiser,” reflects the wisdom, resilience, and passion that have fueled our mission from day one.


Celebrating Our Milestones

Over the past couple of years, WISE has launched a series of groundbreaking events and initiatives that have left a lasting impact:

  • Oscar Doc Visionaries – We honored the hard work of documentary filmmakers at our pre-Oscar reception, celebrating the nominated documentaries of 2023. Oscar winners joined us, inspiring the next generation of storytellers.

  • Lady With A Film – In collaboration with USC, we introduced our year-round showcase series, spotlighting exceptional talent and creating a dynamic platform for emerging voices in the film industry.

  • Networking at IFFLA & “Open the Door” Fundraiser – Our networking events at IFFLA and the launch of our “Open the Door” online fundraiser at Hues of Heritage in Baar Baar, DTLA, have provided valuable connections and opportunities for our community.

  • Brown & Brilliant Podcast – In collaboration with Rukus Ave Radio on iHeart Radio, we launched our inaugural podcast, celebrating top South Asian trailblazers in global entertainment.

  • Spotlight of the Month – Every month, we shine a light on a woman in showbiz, sharing inspiring stories that uplift and empower our community.

  • Mental Wellbeing Initiatives – Recognizing the pressures of the media industry, we have created safe spaces for discussion, relaxation, and mutual support because mental wellbeing is essential for success.


Looking Ahead

As we celebrate our two-year milestone, we are excited to introduce several new initiatives that will continue our mission of empowerment and inclusion:

  • Oscars Get WISE Podcast – Our second podcast will highlight the inspiring journeys of women in film who have been nominated for or have won an Academy Award.

  • Workshops With Icons – Get ready for masterclass-style workshops led by entertainment industry icons, providing invaluable insights and mentorship.

  • EmpowHer Mentorship Program – We are pairing industry-leading mentors with eager mentees, fostering growth and guidance for the next generation of talent.

  • Project Eve – Our most ambitious project yet! With an exciting slate of initiatives, including “I Wear Pink Shoes” and an anthology of short films by or about women, our film production initiative will push creative boundaries and amplify diverse voices.


Thank You & Get Involved

We are immensely grateful for our donors, community partners, and every individual who has supported us on this journey. Together, we are wise, and together we will drive change—one initiative at a time.
