This April, we center our voices, values, and victories around one profound theme: The Power of Choice.

Every woman, no matter where she stands in the world, deserves the dignity of decision—over her body, her work, her dreams, and her future. Choice is not just a privilege; it is a powerful catalyst for change. It is the silent force behind every leap, every pivot, every act of courage. And in this edition, we celebrate that power in all its unapologetic glory.

I chose to feature myself on the cover this month—not as a symbol of arrival, but as a declaration of alignment. I, too, am living this journey. As the founder of The Global Women Magazine and The Global Women of Choice Awards, I have learned that owning your choices—especially the bold, unconventional ones—can be your greatest act of leadership.

In this special issue, you’ll meet women who have made extraordinary choices that shaped their lives and the lives of others. From the phenomenal recipients of the 5th Global Women of Choice Awards, to the trailblazing billionaires in our Top 10 Richest Women in the World feature, each story affirms what is possible when women decide, define, and dare.

We’ve also included a curated collection of personal essays and powerful articles written to fuel your courage. Whether it’s redefining fitness on your own terms, dealing with migraine, leading with unapologetic feminine power, launching a business that aligns with your values, or refusing to be held back by anyone’s expectations—this issue is for you.

Because when a woman chooses herself, she changes everything.

Here’s to the brave, the bold, the unstoppable— Here’s to you.

With strength and purpose,
