Celebrating Ordinary Women Achieving Extraordinary Things
Join us on Friday, 21st November 2025 for an unforgettable evening of gratitude, celebration, and inspiration as we honour women from across the world who have overcome challenges and made a profound impact in their communities.
The Godly Woman of Substance (GWOS) 10th Annual Gratitude & Awards Dinner is more than an event—it’s a movement. For a decade, GWOS has championed women who embody faith, resilience, and influence in their families, communities, ministries, and the marketplace. This anniversary celebration will be a night to reflect on God’s faithfulness, celebrate extraordinary impact, and ignite vision for the future.
Event Highlights
Honouring Unsung Heroes
We shine a spotlight on women who are often overlooked but whose impact has transformed lives. From kingdom entrepreneurs and charity founders to community leaders and everyday heroes, this night is dedicated to every woman who shows up with passion, conviction, and resilience.
Inspiring Connections
Network with like-minded women from diverse walks of life—leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and ministers—united by a shared desire to build legacy and impact generations.
A Sacred Celebration
Marking 10 years of GWOS, the evening will be filled with worship, testimonies, and powerful moments of gratitude, reminding us that God uses ordinary women to do extraordinary things.
Theme: Building Legacy & Impacting Generations
Inspired by Psalm 145:4 — “One generation shall commend your works to another; they shall tell of your mighty acts.”
This year’s theme reminds us that the seeds sown today create legacies that shape tomorrow. At this 10th anniversary celebration, we will honour the women building generational impact and inspire all to live with greater vision, purpose, and conviction.
Featured Speakers
Rev. Cathy Ciaramitaro
We are honoured to welcome Rev. Cathy Ciaramitaro as our keynote speaker for the 2025 Gratitude & Awards Dinner.
Rev. Cathy is a seasoned leader and visionary communicator whose voice has shaped leadership across Canada and beyond. With over four decades of pastoral experience, she brings wisdom, clarity, and conviction to every platform. Her messages inspire leaders to rise with courage, navigate change, and build communities rooted in purpose and faith.
She is also an accomplished author and international speaker, known for her practical teachings that mobilize believers to lead with integrity and impact.
Mayor Cllr Princess Bright
We are delighted to also welcome Mayor Cllr Princess Bright, a history maker, role model, and trailblazer.
In May 2025, she became the youngest-ever Mayor of Barking & Dagenham, a milestone that reflects her dedication to leadership and service. First elected as a councillor at just 22 years old, Cllr Bright has since championed youth empowerment, diversity, and opportunity across her borough.
Her journey—from student at Barking & Dagenham College to civic leader—proves that vision, perseverance, and faith can break barriers. A true inspiration for the next generation, she embodies the spirit of GWOS: ordinary women doing extraordinary things.
