Behind every strong woman is a story â and often, a mother who helped shape it. đ
This Motherâs Day, we are celebrating the moms, grandmothers, mother figures, and generations of women who inspired us to lead, create, support, and uplift others.
Today we honor the women who taught us resilience, compassion, confidence, and the power of using our voices. Happy Motherâs Day from AWM Austin! đ
This Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we celebrate the voices, stories, and leadership shaping our Austin media community and beyond. đ

Another successful gala on the books! The 2026 AWM Austin Trailblazer Awards Galaâwhere stories, voices, and vision came together to honor women who arenât just participating in media⌠theyâre redefining it.
This room is about shaping the future.
What stands out isnât just the celebrationâ
itâs the continuity of impact.
Because moments like this donât end when the lights go down.
They ripple.
They become careers.
They become confidence.
They become courage for the next woman to step forward, speak up, and create.
A heartfelt thank you to our supporters and volunteers who made this past Thursday such a successâyour time, energy, and dedication keep this community thriving.
And congratulations to all of this yearâs award winners, including our Trailblazer of the Year Tatjana Deegan, and student scholarship recipient, Athena Tseng.
One thing remains true:
When you support women in media, you shape culture itself.

Thereâs something powerful about being in a room full of women who are building, leading, and shaping the future of media.
Last night at the Austin Alliance for Women in Media awards, you could feel it â the passion, the work behind the scenes, the years it takes to become âan overnight success.â
And it reminded me of something we say a lot at MW.coâŚ
this kind of growth doesnât happen by accident.
It happens when people care deeply about what theyâre creating.
When they stay consistent.
When they build something that actually matters to others.
Thatâs what stood out most â not just the awards, but the intention behind the work.
Rooms like this donât just celebrate successâŚ
they show you whatâs possible when you keep going.
Building together, always.

Big cheers for a truly well-deserved spotlight moment đ
Last night at the Trailblazer & Awards of Excellence Showstoppers Gala, presented by the Austin Alliance for Women in Media, our very own @jackieleemackey took home the Local Agency Unsung Hero Award đ
If you know Jackie, you know âunsungâ doesnât quite capture it! This recognition is a long-overdue standing ovation for the impact she brings to everything she is a part of.
Weâre beyond proud to celebrate her!!! Thank you to @awmatx for always creating such a special event honoring our local industry - and our beautiful girl! â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
