Where All It Began...
In 2017, InfluenceHers emerged from the heart of Brittany Grey-Yadav, fueled by a desire to connect women with opportunities to travel and give back. Inspired by the transformative power of international social-impact trips, Brittany witnessed firsthand the profound impact of pouring into others, but she also discovered the challenge of sustaining that inspiration in the face of life's trials.
After hosting various trips, Brittany recognized a deeper need: to bridge the gap between personal well-being and impactful action. In 2024, InfluenceHers blossomed into something more—a nurturing platform that empowers women to prioritize self-care and wellness while embracing opportunities to make a difference in their communities, both local and global.
InfluenceHers is more than a platform; it's a sanctuary—a space where women can replenish their spirits, recharge their energies, and rediscover their ability to influence change. It's a heartfelt invitation
