Los Angeles lit up with purpose and star power last night as We Do It Together, the nonprofit film production company championing women’s voices in media, celebrated its 10-year anniversary with a glamorous gala at the Mr. Brainwash Art Museum honoring Sharon Stone and more.
Founded in 2015 by filmmaker Chiara Tilesi, the organization has spent the last decade partnering with global institutions like the United Nations, NASDAQ, and the World Economic Forum to amplify women’s stories through film, education, and cultural initiatives. Their most acclaimed project, the Oscar-nominated Tell It Like a Woman, even screened at the UN General Assembly.
The celebration brought out an impressive list of honorees, each recognized for their work driving progress for women worldwide. Sharon Stone received the Iconic Excellence Award for her humanitarian activism in HIV/AIDS awareness, women’s rights, and global justice. Additional honorees included legendary composer Diane Warren, director Patricia Riggen, Beverly Hills Mayor Dr. Sharona Nazarian, CNN Hero Dr. Kim Carter, model Bianca Balti, and Dr. Rita Ali, founder of We 2 Matter.
The night also marked the U.S. premiere of the international I AM campaign; a global initiative uniting more than 50 women in arts and cinema, including Helen Mirren, Marisa Tomei, and Catherine Hardwicke. It features intimate self-portrait videos celebrating identity and empowerment.
Guests walked the red carpet before joining Master of Ceremonies, Spectrum News anchor Giselle Fernandez, for an evening of awards, presentations, and a private museum experience. Some of the notable attendees included actor Taye Diggs, reality star Jessica Hall, and cast members from “Selling Sunset” Jason Oppenhiem, Mary and Romain Bonnet, and more. Spiritual leaders Oliver Niño and Mandy Morris were also among the evening’s supporters.
Tilesi reflected on the milestone, saying, “Our commitment is stronger than ever. We have spent 10 years working to change the cultural roots of gender inequality, but there is still so much work to do.”
The event spotlighted the organization’s global collaborations with UN Women and the governments of the U.S., Italy, Japan, Chile, Argentina and more, emphasizing the impact film and storytelling can have in shifting culture.
The Mr. Brainwash Museum offered the perfect backdrop for the event, with guests enjoying endless photo moments and interactive exihibits. In honor of the milestone, Mr. Brainwash donated a mixed-media piece titled Pop Wall which was auctioned during the formal dinner, alongside luxury trips, tickets to the Eagles at The Sphere in Las Vegas, and other fantastic prizes to raise money for the organization.
Honorees were presented with the Victoria Award, designed by Italian artist Camilla Ancilotto, featuring a bronze and gold-plated statuette inspired by the ancient Winged Victory of Vani.
