2015 marks the 10th anniversary of L'Oreal's Women of Worth awards, which was initially created based on its iconic slogan and brand philiosophy, "Because I'm Worth It."

"At L'Oreal Paris, we believe that all women are worth it. We know that when empowered, women can overcome any obstacle and accomplish whatever they set out to achieve," said L'Oreal Paris President, Karen T. Fondu. "For the past decade, Women of Worth has strived to recognize women who have faced adversity and found a way to make a difference in the lives of others. With Women of Worth, our goal is to provide honorees with a national platform to raise awareness for their important organizations, as well as inspire others to pursue their passions."
