Los Angeles, CA – On September 10, the Beverly Hills Marriott will host the Heather Mariana Celebrity Gifting Suite, a high‑profile Emmys‑week event where Deb Drummond, founder of The Women’s Channel, and a select group of women from the 262 Women’s Movement will hand‑gift signed copies of their anthology, Mission Accepted: 262 Women Entrepreneurs, Ultrapreneurs, Creatives & Media Rock Legacy & Tell‑All (known as The 262 Book), to more than 200 celebrities and media professionals.
Event highlights and notable guests
The poolside gathering, organized by The Heather Marianna Group, is expected to draw stars such as guitarist Tim Gross, actress Sharon Case, actor Obba Babatundé, comedian Lauren Weedman, creator Gregori J. Martin, and Marie Constance. Drummond will be joined by women leaders Emily Bassett, Lavada England, Liz Goll Lerner, Cathy Holt, Kaitlyn Lakusta, Andrea Nechita, Rhonda Travers and Susan Winchester, each representing the broader international movement.
Purpose of the hand‑gift experience
According to Drummond, the initiative is about “legacy, leadership, and leverage.” By placing the stories of women shaping business, media, innovation and social change directly into the hands of cultural influencers, the movement aims to spark dialogue and create new media opportunities for the featured entrepreneurs.
Broader reach of the 262 Women’s Movement
The 262 Book, now archived in Canadian History and Archives, blends contemporary profiles with a 50‑page tribute to historic female pioneers. The movement has already toured live events in Canada, Ireland, Texas and New York, and hosted virtual summits that have united thousands of women worldwide. Drummond will also use the occasion to promote The Women’s Channel, a streaming platform dedicated to showcasing women’s stories, expertise and original show concepts.
Additional offerings at the suite
Attendees will have the chance to interview Drummond for exclusive content on The Women’s Channel and receive a limited‑edition Emmys Edition Natsukashii Ink Collaborative Women’s Channel hat. With more than 350 million media impressions to date, the 262 Women’s Movement continues to expand its influence during Emmys week and beyond.
