1000 Women, 365 Days, an infinite amount of light.
The Vision: Align 1000 amazing women with the resources to live their absolute BEST lives.*
It’s not about her goal, it’s about her BEST LIFE!
I’m out to find the woman who somehow lost sight of her ON switch.
I’m out to find the resources—the people and companies—who would love nothing more than to see that woman truly shine.
+ This project is my outstretched hand to the woman who is already amazing, but just needs a gentle nudge (or maybe an outright push!) to allow the best versions of herself to fully emerge.
+ This project is one way for me to practice the art of BEING the woman I admire.
I’m a co-illuminator, and my partners in light are the people who tend to turn on the lights in the room.
Join me, Akilah Safiah Richards, on this LightCaster’s Project, and together, we can illuminate each of our little corners of the world.


You are speaking to me right now. Keep it up, girl. You really do illuminate those around you, even via the internet.
This is exciting. I just posted a blog post about this project. Thank you.
You’re speaking to me! For years I have felt as though I am inside trying to get out. At this point, my 15 watt bulb is merely flickering.
I am very excited about this project and want to know more!
This is so awesome!
Akilah-This is a wonderful, beautiful project. I’m right with ya…my light is on!
I agree with @MommyDelicious. You are vibrant and have a vibrant spirit. I just learned about you through Grind and Thrive. com. I’m excited about this project.
