“I’m a b*tch, I’m a lover. I’m a child, I’m a mother. I’m a sinner, I’m a saint. I do not feel ashamed. I’m your hell, I’m your dream. I’m nothing in between. You know you wouldn’t want it any other way.” –“B*tch,” Meredith Brooks.

This Women’s Month, we honor every woman — young and old; babe or b*tch — and everyone in between.

The following women exemplify not only juggling many hats — personal life, career and advocacies — but are even excelling in what they’re doing. Let us learn from how they achieve triumph amid adversity — and thrive in the world of business, where the role of CEO used to be a male-dominated game.

Company president Neelam Gopwani Chainani: ‘Never doubt yourself’

Eyewear chain Vision Express recently had a star-studded launch of its spring-summer 2026 collection, which includes new and trendy sunglasses by luxury brands Miu Miu, Gucci and Prada, to name a few — perfect for summer and all-year-round.

From the collection, the favorites of Neelam Gopwani Chainani, president of House of Branded Lifestyle, the mother company that manages the eyewear store chains Vision Express, Eye Society and Sunglass Gallery, are Miu Miu and Prada shades.

“I’m obsessed with the Miu Miu collection now, with Olivia Rodrigo wearing that classic Miu Miu with the logo on the side. It’s just chic, but it’s feminine, but it’s also a little bit masculine.

It’s very androgynous,” she said. “Another collection that I love is Prada. It’s minimalistic but very chic, so it’s a good mix of both depending on what you’re going for.”

In the same exclusive interview with DAILY TRIBUNE, the Harvard Business School-educated company president advised other women to “never doubt yourself.”

“A lot of times, we women, we have the best gut feeling. So for Women’s Month, I would say, trust your gut feeling, trust yourself and do what makes you happy and never feel like women are any less. Trust your gut, push forward and be the best that you can be.”

Cristalle Belo-Pitt: Building the future through entrepreneurship

“We spend a lot of our lives taking care of the people we love — our kids, parents, siblings.
