Performances That Stole the Show
As the awards ceremony unfolded, the audience was treated to an incredible lineup of performances that spanned musical genres and brought the room to life.

But the entertainment didn’t stop there. As the awards were handed out to deserving honorees, the live DJ kept the energy high, leading into the highly anticipated afterparty. Drinks flowed, conversations sparked, and the afterparty became a hub for networking and celebrating among the attendees. For brands like ours, Becoming Her Magazine, the Sheen Awards provided a valuable opportunity to connect with other industry professionals and make important decisions for the future.
In fact, the atmosphere was so inspiring that Jasmine and I made an important business move that night: we decided to have her take the reins and run the magazine. Sometimes, when you’re surrounded by such creative energy and excellence, the right decisions become clear.

For those of us in attendance, it was a moment of reflection on how far we’ve come and where we want to go in the future. As Jasmine and I watched the event unfold, we found ourselves thinking about how we want to show up for our own brand moving forward.
The Sheen Awards reminded us of the importance of celebrating not only our own achievements but also the contributions of others who are making waves in the entertainment industry.
