A groundbreaking international movement is reshaping how women entrepreneurs share their stories and build their influence across the globe. Women of Purpose International, founded by Dr. Shyla Day, has emerged as a powerful platform that transforms personal challenges into professional triumphs through strategic storytelling and community building.
The organization’s flagship initiative, the #1 international bestselling book series “Women of Purpose: Creating a Better World,” showcases extraordinary narratives from women who have converted adversity into opportunity. The series recently earned prestigious recognition, winning a 2025 Stellar Business Award for Best International Publishing Company and a Literary Prize for Motivation and Inspiration from the Regal Summit Book Awards.
Women of Purpose International distinguishes itself through its comprehensive approach to empowerment. Beyond traditional publishing, the movement provides live PR workshops, social media training, and writing guides designed to help women entrepreneurs establish their personal brands and expand their professional reach. These resources have enabled participants to achieve visibility across 237 countries and placement in major retailers, libraries, academic institutions, and airports worldwide.
Dr. Shyla Day brings exceptional credentials to the organization’s leadership. As an award-winning entrepreneur with over one million social media followers, she holds two PhDh degrees in Fine Arts and Philanthropic Studies from Northwest International University and Myles Leadership University, both earned before age 30. Her humanitarian work has garnered 54 global accolades across music, publishing, and entrepreneurship, including recognition as Young Philanthropist of the Year at the Humanitarian Awards Global and induction into Marquis Who’s Who of America.
“Don’t just break barriers; shatter them, and create new paths for others to follow,” Dr. Day emphasizes, reflecting the organization’s transformative philosophy.
The movement’s impact extends far beyond individual success stories. Through its sister initiative, Influencers Impact, the organization leverages social media reach to advocate for human rights and equity while amplifying underrepresented voices. Formerly recognized by a senior member of the Nobel Peace Prize Family, Dr. Day has created a seven-figure impact worldwide by supporting charitable initiatives through art and media.
The publishing platform serves as more than a vehicle for sharing stories. It creates a supportive ecosystem where women entrepreneurs connect, learn from shared experiences, and collaborate on initiatives that drive positive change. This community-centered approach has proven particularly effective in helping members overcome traditional barriers in business and publishing.
“Your voice matters. Your story can ignite change. Never underestimate its power,” Dr. Day notes, underscoring the organization’s belief in the transformative potential of authentic storytelling.
Looking ahead, Women of Purpose International continues to expand its global footprint. The upcoming release of “Women of Purpose: Compassionate Hearts” in November 2025 will feature 16 changemakers from the UK, Greenland, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Slovenia, and the United States, marking the one-year anniversary of the first Women of Purpose publication.
The organization’s success demonstrates a shifting paradigm in how women entrepreneurs approach professional development and community building. By combining strategic storytelling with practical business tools and a supportive network, Women of Purpose International creates pathways for women to transform personal experiences into professional opportunities while contributing to positive global change.
“We are not just building businesses; we are building a better world, one empowered woman at a time,” Dr. Day explains, capturing the essence of a movement that continues to redefine what’s possible when women unite around shared purpose and vision.
