Discover the Women Shaping Tampa Bay
“It is literally impossible to be a woman.” Actress America Ferrera delivered this line at the start of her character’s memorable 2023 monologue in “Barbie,” calling attention to the challenges women face—from appearance and leadership to motherhood. There was a time when women couldn’t vote, own property, pursue higher education, or even serve on a jury. Today, women are stronger than ever. They are entrepreneurs, CEOs, doctors—women can now become whoever they aspire to be.
Our annual Women’s Edition continues to grow, and this year, our Women to Watch section reaches a new milestone, celebrating 80 remarkable Tampa Bay women. We spotlight leaders in industries ranging from medicine and law to health and beauty, interior design, and the food and beverage sector—and much more.
These women are shaping their fields, breaking barriers, and making a name for themselves, all while inspiring the next generation.
