Building a community where bold women rise

Empowerment tools and gifts for ambitious women by Sheek

Written by Sophy aiida

Allow me to reintroduce myself. I’m Sophy Aiida—actress, TV presenter, international host, and the founder of Sheek Network. Sheek is my baby, my vision brought to life, and the community that has been in the works for the past 10 years: a space for bold, audacious, ambitious women to connect, grow, and thrive together.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been driven by a desire to connect, to create, and to uplift. However, throughout my career, I have noticed a recurring challenge — women, including myself, often overproduce, overthink, and overwork without prioritising their mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

I realized there was a space missing — a global network where women could support each other, rise together, and find clarity without judgment. That space became Sheek.

This year, I finally began transforming the idea into action. I started by developing a strategy and concrete plan, narrating the key concepts of the brand, building our visual identity, and assembling a small, passionate team. I began leveraging my circle of women — friends, colleagues, mentors — to help shape the network, ensuring it reflects what women around the world feel is lacking: connection, representation, and empowerment.

Since then, Sheek has begun to take tangible form. We hosted our first Sheek Supper Club, where I introduced the brand to a curated group of powerful, inspiring women — now ambassadors of our vision. That evening was not just an event; it was the first step toward a worldwide network where women of purpose, ambition, and audacity can connect and grow together.

Sheek is more than a brand. It’s my— and hopefully your— sanctuary. A space where soulful storytelling meets high-end media, and where representation is a foundation, not an afterthought. Every conversation, event, and program we create is designed to awaken purpose, amplify visibility, and inspire bold transformation.

Our mission is clear: Sheek exists to shift culture, not just create content. We empower women to overcome invisibility, rise boldly, lead with confidence, and build lives of purpose and impact. Through soulful storytelling, educational programs, and curated events, we aim to:

  1. Help women find clarity, confidence, and direction in their next chapters.

  2. Uplift diverse voices and bridge cultures through authentic connection.

  3. Build a legacy rooted in visibility, collaboration, and global sisterhood.

For me, Sheek is personal. It’s a space for women who know they are meant for more, who value taking care of their mind, body, and soul, and who are ready to connect with other women riding the same wave of ambition and audacity.

The journey of building Sheek has been ten years in the making, but the future is here. And the future is ours to build — together.

Welcome to Sheek. This is your invitation to rise, be seen, and thrive on your own terms.
