The DWAP Awards are an opportunity for Designed With A Purpose to spotlight young ladies and women in the community. There are so many unseen she-roes in our communities and so many hard working “local celebrities” right in our back yards who are contributing their time and bringing empowerment, inspiration and upliftment to others every day! The First Annual DWAP Awards began in 2023, where we celebrated all nominees and honored all award winners. Please keep reading below to learn more.
