LOS ANGELES, CA November 18, 2025 – It was a night of celebration, empowerment, and star power as We Do It Together marked its 10-year anniversary with a spectacular gala at the Mr. Brainwash Art Museum in Los Angeles. Celebrities including Taye Diggs, Bobby Brown, the cast of Selling Sunset, and Mauricio Umansky joined the festivities to honor the iconic Sharon Stone alongside a group of empowering women who are championing change in media and cinema.
We Do It Together, the groundbreaking 501(c)(3) nonprofit film production company founded in 2015 by international filmmaker Chiara Tilesi, has dedicated the past decade to advocating for women’s storytelling and transforming representation in film. The organization has made an indelible mark globally collaborating with the United Nations, NASDAQ, World Economic Forum and governments across the world, producing powerful films, educational programs, and campaigns that amplify women’s voices. Its feature film Tell It Like a Woman was Oscar®-nominated in 2023 and screened at the UN General Assembly, underscoring its international impact.
“For the last 10 years, We Do It Together has worked to change the cultural roots of gender inequality through film, education, and social impact campaigns. Yet violence and disparity continue to rise worldwide. I am grateful that during the gala we will honor extraordinary women who inspire change. Our commitment is stronger than ever,” said founder Chiara Tilesi.
The Honorees
Master of Ceremony Giselle Fernandez guided guests through an inspiring evening of awards, presentations, and recognition. Among those honored were extraordinary women driving change worldwide, including Sharon Stone, who received the Iconic Excellence Award for her humanitarian work in HIV/AIDS awareness, women’s rights, and global justice. Additional honorees include remarkable women who have played critical roles in amplifying women’s voices, including: 16-time Academy Award–nominated composer Diane Warren; director Patricia Riggen; Beverly Hills Mayor Dr. Sharona Nazarian; and CNN Hero Dr. Kim Carter; Bianca Balti and Dr. Rita Ali, founder of We 2 Matter.
Renowned Italian artist Camilla Ancilotto designed the powerful and beautiful Victoria Award for We Do It Together that was presented to the honorees. Inspired by the ancient Winged Victory of Vani (2nd–1st century BC), the bronze statuette symbolizes light and rebirth, featuring restored gold-plated wings while preserving the aged bronze as a tribute to its origins. Each piece was crafted by Poignée, the esteemed Italian workshop known for creating the papal coats of arms for Popes Benedict XVI, Francis, and Leo.
The evening also included the U.S. premieres of the internationally acclaimed I AM campaign, featuring, among others, Helen Mirren, Marisa Tomei, and Catherine Hardwicke. They join more than 50 influential women in art, culture, and cinema worldwide in celebrating identity, resilience, and empowerment through self-portrait videos paired with personal declarations beginning with “I AM.”
Guests were then free to tour the museum before mingling and dining at the seated dinner hosted by Eataly.
Mr. Brainwash Art Museum
The Mr. Brainwash Art Museum, created by world-renowned street artist and filmmaker Thierry Guetta (Mr. Brainwash), was the perfect setting for the gala. Known for its bold fusion of pop culture, graffiti, and contemporary art, the museum provides a space where art, imagination, and wonder converge—a fitting backdrop to celebrate a decade of women’s empowerment. In celebration of this milestone, Mr. Brainwash donated an important art piece to We Do It Together to be auctioned. The piece, titled “Pop Wall,” is a silkscreen and mixed media on canvas with splashed frame.
