Showing my family my 75th magazine cover and article in the digital issue of the iconic VOGUE Weekly was fabulous. I heard lots of “Wows” and even a, “You look like a Queen!” Those reactions combined with the words inside the article such as … “Dr. Shellie Hipsky’s relentless pursuit of empowerment of all women has garnered international recognition and acclaim, solidifying her status as a prominent figure in the global community. Through her unwavering commitment to transforming lives, she epitomizes the essence of empowerment and serves as a guiding light for generations to come.” … was so humbling to me as I do my work pouring into: my World Class VIP coaching clients, my Global Sisters and our Charity Partnerships, and my own children with love. I am currently aligning with the right companies and people who want to align with the good in humanity. Those who want to be a part of something that is bigger than themselves. Whether they are becoming Official Members of the Global Sisterhood or sponsoring the important docu-series which will be a part of this incredible movement - our work is important for those who are experiencing: domestic violence, human trafficking, food insecurity, homelessness, extreme poverty, disabilities, and so much more. Proud of our work as a Global Sisterhood! I know that we will be able to help so many more women and children internationally as the word spreads and connections continue happen with humanitarian hearts to those in need! 📸Photography by Dominique Murray; couture gown and necklace created by Brian D.

Honored and deeply grateful to be featured in my second international Forbes magazine publication and I can’t wait to open the physical print version. Reading this article in Forbes Canada reminded me that legacy is built through service, courage, and consistency… through the quiet yeses, bold leaps of, and the lives we touch along the way. From professor to humanitarian, author, television host, and now Executive Producer, every chapter has been rooted in one calling: empowering others to rise. I especially loved that this feature highlighted the expanding vision behind my film and media work. As Executive Producer on Step Forward in Sisterhood, La Pandora’s Box, and The Enlightened Passenger, I’m passionate about using storytelling as another form of service—creating projects that uplift, awaken, and spark meaningful change. Film has become a powerful extension of my mission. Through documentaries and purpose-driven cinema, we have an opportunity not only to entertain, but to inspire, heal, and amplify voices that deserve to be heard. Step Forward in Sisterhood the movie is especially close to my heart because it captures the humanitarian spirit of the Global Sisterhood and the beauty of women rising together across the world. The Global Sisterhood was born from a belief that when women support women, we create ripple effects across generations. Whether serving in villages, mentoring leaders, producing media with meaning, or restoring dignity to those too often unseen—this work has always been about love in action. I have never wanted success simply for success’s sake.
I have wanted significance through service. Thank you to everyone walking beside me in this mission—our volunteers, partners, sisters around the world, and every creative soul helping bring these stories to life. We are not just building brands.
We are building legacy.
We are not just creating media.
We are creating movement as we… Step forward together! 📸 Dominique Murray @murr_nugg 💄 Shane Regalia @shanereliga 👗 White House Black Market @whbm @forbes_canada #DrShellieHipsky #ForbesCanada #StepForwardInSisterhood #MagazineCover … 119

“Dr. Shellie Hipsky is named one of the Top Women Leaders for 2026.” — Women Weekly Magazine There’s something deeply meaningful about being recognized not just for what you build… but for WHY you build it. Because leadership, to me, has never been about titles or visibility—it’s about impact. It’s about using every stage, every platform, every opportunity to open doors, amplify voices, and create spaces where women rise together. It’s about Whitney in Tanzania learning to run her own business This feature beautifully captures what I believe at my core: that true leadership is rooted in purpose, authenticity, and service. That we are here not just to succeed individually, but to create ripple effects that touch lives, shift industries, and inspire generations to come. I am honored to stand alongside according to this article, “extraordinary women worldwide who are redefining what leadership looks like—more human, more inclusive, more transformative.” 📸 Mission Sierra Media in collaboration with Whole Truth Communication, LLC 💄 Alicia Thompkins 👗 Styled by Dana Marie of Style Exchange Boutique #LeadWithHeart #GlobalSisterhood #MagazineCover … #118

“From Chalk Dust to Global Powerhouse: The Unstoppable Rise of Dr. Shellie Hipsky” I appreciate this title for the cover article in GQ Spain because it captures a journey built on passion, purpose, and truly caring for the needs of others.

From producing and appearing in film and television to traveling internationally for humanitarian work, this feature isn’t just about fashion or a moment in the spotlight… it’s about impact with intention. I’ve always believed that confidence is the best outfit.

This is my second time being featured on an international cover of Vanity Fair… and I am so grateful. ✨ Photographed and filmed by cinematographer Ben Braun inside the iconic Versace Mansion in Miami modeling a couture gown designed by Brian David Thompson. And yet, this moment is about so much more than the glamour. This article calls me the “Architect of Impact”… because for me, it’s all about making a profound difference in the lives of others in need. From the classroom to the worldwide stage, my mission has always been the same: help people feel seen, step into their power, and rise. Through Inspiring Lives International and The Global Sisterhood, that purpose continues to grow beyond the borders. Thrilled about all the huge media projects that are about to launch from TV to film … stage and everything between, to help empower women around the world! Because to me, success isn’t what we achieve—it’s who we uplift along the way. 💫 #PurposeDriven #GlobalImpact #VanityFair #MagazineCover… 114

✨ COVER FEATURE #113 ✨ I’m so happy to share that I am featured in HuffMag: “Meet Dr. Shellie Hipsky, Empowering and ‘Inspiring Lives’ One Day at a Time” This beautiful piece highlights the heart behind my mission — uplifting women and families around the world, restoring dignity where it’s been lost, and reigniting hope where it has nearly faded. While I am grateful for the global magazine covers — from Forbes to Marie Claire, Vanity Fair, Elle, and Vogue — what matters most to me is the quiet work. The work in shelters. The work in underserved communities. The work where human connection changes lives. Authenticity. Service. Impact. That is the legacy I strive to build — one life, one family, one day at a time. ❤️ Thank you to everyone who walks this journey with me. Our alignment in purpose to help serve others fuels the good works! 📸 @murr_nugg 💄 Shane Regila #HuffMag #Dr.Shellie #MagazineCover… #113

This moment captured by USA Today in the section on the Modern Woman isn’t about a number. It’s about impact. 1.3 million people on Instagram @Dr.Shellie can mean 1.3 million opportunities to amplify stories that matter, open doors that were once closed, and remind women across the world that their voice has value. This number places me in the category of “mega-influencers”, a tier of online leadership that typically includes celebrities and public figures with global appeal. I know that there will be many eyes on my work especially after they release the film and docuseries on the Global Sisterhood; plus, the TV shows Women in Power and Daymond John’s Next Level CEO. I feel it’s my responsibility to always keep the needs of those with challenges at the forefront of my business and charitable ventures. Every chapter of this journey — the pivots, the setbacks, the self-funding, the rebuilding — was guided by one question: How can this serve more women? From education to entrepreneurship, from storytelling to sisterhood, the work has always been about creating access, confidence, and community — especially for voices that have been overlooked for far too long. Thank you for being part of something bigger than a platform. This is what purpose looks like in action.

This cover story reflects a journey rooted in service, purpose, and intentional impact. Long before the spotlight, my work began in classrooms, shelters, and communities—standing with those whose voices are often unheard. Every platform I’ve been given is a responsibility, not a reward. As I live out my family’s legacy of giving, I am happy to continue this global support. I believe true influence isn’t about being seen—it’s about lifting others. Leadership is service, visibility is responsibility, and when the spotlight is used with intention, lives are changed. Grateful for this moment, the mission, and everyone who continues to walk this journey with me.
