We Did It: Wine with Wita Wins Voice of Influence!

I have some joyful news to share, and even now, it still feels like a pinch-me moment.

I am honoured to share that I was named the Voice of Influence Award Winner at the Women with Altitude Awards. Even typing those words feels surreal. This recognition means more than I can express and represents far more than a trophy or a title. It reflects years of quiet work, late nights, moments of doubt, and a deep belief that staying true to your voice and values is always worth it.

What Does This Award Mean?

For me, influence has never been about being the loudest in the room. It has always been about using my voice to stand beside children and families, helping them communicate through play, connection, and understanding. Every day, I witness courage. I see parents showing up again and again, even when they are exhausted. I see children discovering the power of their voice, step by step, sound by sound.

This award is dedicated to them.
To every parent who keeps going, even on the hard days.
To every child finding their words and their confidence.
To every family who lets me walk beside them.

That is what influence truly looks like. Quiet. Steady. Meaningful.

A Moment for My Team

Nothing I do happens alone. I am incredibly grateful for my team who stand beside me every single day. Their creativity, commitment, and belief in this vision are the reasons we get to make an impact together. This award is a team effort through and through. Every idea, every conversation, every late-night message when we are trying to bring something to life… it all matters.

A Night of Connection and Purpose

The awards night itself was beautiful. A room full of women supporting each other, celebrating each other, and lifting each other higher. It was a reminder of why community matters and why sharing our voices makes a difference. There was so much warmth, inspiration, and genuine connection.

Standing on that stage as the Voice of Influence was a moment I will always hold close.

What Happens Next?

Winning this award has only strengthened my purpose. It is a reminder of why Wine with Wita exists. A space where families feel seen, heard, and supported. A place where stories are shared honestly. And a reminder that every voice deserves to be valued.

I am so grateful for this recognition. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This is just the beginning.

Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for being part of this amazing adventure!
