The Golden Women’s Awards arranged by WODESS (Women Designed for Success) took place on 16th October, with nominations in various categories for women from across the globe.The award ceremony was held at Helsinki, Caisa Cultural Centre.
Baljit Bains, Managing Director of Wanjara Records is the UK's first Asian woman to direct and manage a record company within a male-dominated industry.
Over the course of many years, she has shown commitment and dedication in overcoming the gender barrier that any woman going to business is liable to face. Baljit Bains broke this barrier within the UK Asian Music Industry in 2014, by establishing her own record label, Wanjara Records. The record label not only aims to advocate the power of women within business, but also aims to create a fairer industry where talented artists’ social or economical backgrounds do not deprive them of success.
Baljit was nominated for and won the Golden Women Award for Entertainment, Media and Communication.
Baljit has been hard at work promoting her husband Lalit with his own written, composed and performed songs and videos. This year saw the launch of two fabulous songs/videos, ‘Ranjhana’ and ‘Pheren’ among the many other songs released.
The event was attended by people from all over the world, and Lali Wanjara performed live on stage at the events too.
