In a world where glamour often overshadows purpose, Dr. Shellie Hipsky has seamlessly blended the two. With her dazzling presence on over 100 international magazine covers—including Forbes, Marie Claire, Vanity Fair, Elle, and Vogue—she has become a symbol of both style and substance. But behind the sparkle of couture gowns and the camera flashes lies a woman on a mission to empower women and children across the globe.
As the Executive Director of the Global Sisterhood, Dr. Shellie leads a movement that transcends borders. What began as a nonprofit focused on education, entrepreneurship, and humanitarian action has blossomed into a worldwide community of women lifting each other higher. From funding schools in Africa to organizing grassroots #PopUpGiving projects in the U.S. and Pakistan, the Global Sisterhood proves that compassion, when coupled with action, creates lasting change.
Fashion has become one of her powerful platforms for philanthropy. Through charity fashion shows, cabarets, and galas—Dr. Shellie has united designers, models, and influencers under a common cause: raising awareness and funds for women and children in need. These events are not simply about showcasing style—they are about celebrating resilience, amplifying voices, and proving that beauty can indeed change the world.
Dr. Shellie’s influence extends far beyond the runway. A celebrated Global Empowerment Coach, award-winning author, keynote speaker, vocalist, and mompreneur, she has spoken at prestigious institutions including Harvard, Columbia, and Oxford, and on international stages from Hollywood to Tanzania. Her 15 books, including bestsellers like Ball Gowns to Yoga Pants and Mom Magic Mompreneur, draw from her own journey—navigating personal challenges while rising as a global leader.

Her accolades are as impressive as her mission: the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award for 4,000+ volunteer hours, recognition as a Top Global Empowerment Coach, and honors such as Most Influential Female Entrepreneurship Coach and Global Woman Influencer. Each award is a testament to her tireless dedication to creating a more compassionate and inclusive world.
What sets Dr. Shellie apart is her belief that empowerment is not simply about personal success. It is about balance, clarity, and purpose. Whether she’s dazzling on a red carpet, guiding women through her signature EmpowerU Master Class, in Africa building an Early Childhood Learning Center, or mentoring leaders through elite VIP coaching, she radiates a message of possibility: that every woman has the right to shine, succeed, and give back.
Through the Global Sisterhood, the runway, and the written word, Dr. Shellie Hipsky is crafting more than a legacy—she is shaping a global movement. And with every cover, every charity show, and every newly empowered woman, her vision of a world where fashion meets philanthropy, and style meets sisterhood, comes dazzlingly to life.
