Continuing the footsteps of wonderful women!

"What the Feather Awards has taught me over the past 3 years is that IT TAKES A PRETTY INTENSE PERSON TO CHANGE THE WORLD! A person that is willing to go too far in order to find out just how far they can go" - Tanya Magalhaes ~ Founder of Feather Awards at Gala event 26 May 2011

The Feather Awards was established by the Female Tribe in 2008. The first prestigious Gala Event held in March 2009 in association with the Female Tribe and 1st For Women Insurance Brokers recognised the extraordinary women of South Africa and the meaningful contributions they have made in the areas of Community, Career, Entrepreneurship, Inspiration, Courage and the lives of other women.

The Feather Awards celebrates the multifaceted nature of a woman – her compassion, her strength and her determination. The Feather represents a writing instrument, the tool used throughout the ages to capture history and legacy. Feathers used on parchment recorded the remarkable life stories of exceptional women of yesteryear. Today each woman writes her story, continuing the legacy of extraordinary women.
