The wellthy 25
Hope+Wellth Magazine is proud to present The Wellthy 25.
Too often, success is measured by how much we can push, produce and perform, but these extraordinary women of color are shifting that narrative. Our Wellthy 25 honorees are entrepreneurs, wellness leaders, doctors, attorneys, actresses, financial experts, venture capitalists, therapists and creative powerhouses who are all redefining what it means to thrive. They’re building legacies, leading communities and making bold moves, without sacrificing their well-being. In this special feature, they share what success looks like for them and why self-care is not a luxury, but a non-negotiable.
