Clé de Peau Beauté Announces Power Of Radiance Award 2026
In a momentous announcement on March 12, 2026, Clé de Peau Beauté revealed the recipient of the highly esteemed Power of Radiance Award: Dr. Anne-Marie Imafidon. As the CEO and co-founder of Stemettes, Dr. Imafidon has been a passionate advocate for girls in the STEM fields—science, technology, engineering, and mathematics—empowering them by unlocking their potential through education.
The Power Of Radiance Award, now in its eighth year, celebrates women whose leadership and achievements have significantly impacted the education of young girls. Dr. Imafidon's work is emblematic of this ethos, reflecting Clé de Peau Beauté’s ongoing commitment to fostering education as a powerful force for positive change globally.
Dr. Imafidon has established a noteworthy movement through Stemettes, a company she launched to support young girls and non-binary individuals navigating the technical fields. Seeded in her own experiences, she recognized that many barriers remained in place for these groups. Under her guidance, Stemettes provides hands-on experiences, mentorship, and community support, illuminating pathways into STEAM careers. The initiative integrates practical learning, industry-certification hackathons, and networking opportunities, ensuring young minds feel seen and supported in environments where they have been historically underrepresented.
Over 70,000 youth have already engaged with the Stemettes program worldwide; many describe it as a pivotal turning point enhancing their confidence and aspirations. "Girls deserve not only the opportunity to learn but also to lead," Dr. Imafidon asserts, emphasizing the transformative power of providing space for curiosity and creativity. Her visionary leadership serves to inspire an entire generation towards self-discovery and ambition.
Born in London to Nigerian immigrant parents, Dr. Imafidon demonstrated exceptional academic talent early on—passing her GCSE exams at just ten years old. She later earned a master’s degree in mathematics and computer science from the University of Oxford, becoming one of the youngest women ever to do so. Recognizing the obstacles faced by girls and non-binary individuals in technical fields, she co-founded Stemettes in 2013 to provide tangible support and resources. Today, she stands as a prominent figure advocating for diversity and access, consistently challenging limitations within STEAM.
As Naomi Kawanishi, the global president of Clé de Peau Beauté, notes: “Dr. Anne-Marie Imafidon is a beacon of hope and a testament to the importance of creating opportunities for girls. Her confidence and dedication inspire us to support every girl’s full potential.”
The Power of Radiance Awards underline Clé de Peau Beauté's global commitment to enhancing education as a vehicle for social change. At the heart of this initiative lies their signature product—the serum that symbolizes the beginning of every skin care routine. This serum, crafted to stimulate the skin's intelligence, aligns with the philosophy that meaningful change starts with a single step. A portion of its sales contributes to empowering initiatives like the Power of Radiance Awards, reinforcing the brand’s mission to illuminate every woman’s inner glow.
Each year, the award honors a woman whose influence has made a significant impact by supporting young girls through education and mentorship. In 2026, Clé de Peau Beauté will also provide funding to Dr. Imafidon and Stemettes, facilitating the expansion of programs that grant youth rich learning opportunities in STEAM, fostering curiosity, confidence, and resilience necessary for bright futures.
