THE WOMEN BEFORE ME | INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY 2026
THE WOMEN BEFORE ME is an International legacy storytelling project and upcoming podcast dedicated to honoring the WOMEN who shaped who we became. Mothers. Grandmothers. Aunts. Teachers. Coaches. Mentors and more.
Women whose influence may never make headlines but whose impact remains in our lives and will continue for generations. This is an invitation to give tribute to a woman in your life and to remind us all that our legacy is every life we touch as Maya Angelou once said.
Officially launching on International Women’s Day, the podcast features interviews with recognized leaders, compelling stories, and real-time voicemail tributes submitted by people across the globe. Together, these conversations reveal a shared truth: none of us stand alone. We are all part of a bigger legacy story.
Consider this as your invitation to participate:
Leave a brief voicemail tribute below honoring the woman who positively impacted your story, for an opportunity to be featured on THE WOMEN BEFORE ME podcast. Please aim for about one minute so we can honor as many voices as possible.
When you record, please share:
Your name and where you are recording from
Who is the woman who came before you, and how did she shape your life?
What lessons did she pass down?
How does her influence shape the way you live today?
Together, let’s create a ripple effect that honors the women before us, reminding us that generations matter, influence matters, and the choices we make echo far beyond ourselves.
Go to svetkapopov.com and leave us a voice-memo of a woman who made a positive impact on your life.
We can’t wait to listen to your voicemails and hear the story of the woman who left a lasting imprint on your life.
