2024 VIHUS UNSUNG SHEROES 

About Visibly Invisible: Honoring Our Unsung Sheroes

Visibly Invisible is an annual celebration and cultural movement dedicated to honoring the often-overlooked contributions of Black women and women of color in our communities. Founded by Shalonda Menefee, Visibly Invisible provides a powerful platform for recognizing the resilience, brilliance, and leadership of women whose efforts go unacknowledged, despite their profound impact on society. Through creative cultural expressions, performances, and tributes, this event uplifts and empowers women who are fighting for justice, equality, and the well-being of their families and communities. In a world where these women are too often invisible, Visibly Invisible aims to make them seen, celebrated, and valued for all they do.

The mission of Visibly Invisible is to honor, celebrate, and empower Black women and women of color who have made significant, yet often unrecognized, contributions to their communities and the world. By creating a space for cultural expression, storytelling, and collective celebration, we aim to amplify their voices, elevate their presence, and inspire future generations of leaders. Through the annual Visibly Invisible Gala and other events, we uplift unsung Sheroes, validating their invaluable impact and inspiring a culture of recognition, respect, and solidarity.
