In the midst of all of the turmoil that’s currently happening in Los Angeles, yesterday we received some exciting news. We are thrilled to share that next Wednesday, during the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Miami Heat game, our Shero Ceo, Shequeta L. Smith, will be honored by the Los Angeles Lakers and Comerica Bank as part of their Women’s Business Awards. Shequeta is deeply humbled to be recognized as the Woman of Diversity, an award that celebrates women who serve as role models and breakthrough agents in our multicultural city of Los Angeles.

This award is particularly meaningful because it reflects the heart of what Shero Comics stands for—empowering diverse voices, breaking barriers, and inspiring future generations to dream big and create boldly.

The journey to this moment has been one of hard work, persistence, and unwavering belief in the power of storytelling to create change. Through Shero Comics, Shequeta has had the privilege to celebrate women and girls of color as heroes of their own stories and foster spaces where they can see themselves as leaders, creators, and innovators.
