Stories Rooted in Purpose
At the heart of the Spicy Awards is a commitment to recognizing people who demonstrate Strength, Purpose, Innovation, Creativism, and Equity in action.
Our Approach to Media Engagement
We value independent, accurate, ethical, and respectful storytelling that recognizes the dignity and agency of the people and communities represented.
We encourage factual, contextual, and responsible reporting about nominees, honorees, partners, communities, and the Spicy Awards.
Stories should recognize changemakers as people with agency, experience, knowledge, and lived realities—not simply as subjects of a story.
Interviews, photographs, recordings, and other forms of participant access should follow appropriate consent and event protocols.
We welcome journalism and storytelling that helps audiences understand both the challenges communities face and the solutions being developed.
