Variety’s Power of Women event, an annual toast to some of the most powerful women working in media, entertainment, and philanthropy, has announced its 2022 honorees: Drew Barrymore, Queen Latifah, Camila Cabello, Kim Cattrall, Amanda Seyfried, and Venus Williams.

Set to be held at New York City’s The Glass House venue on May 5, the event – a partnership with the women’s television network Lifetime – will kick off just a day after each honoree will be listed on a respective cover of the mag’s annual Power of Women issue (available on newsstands on May 4).
Inside its pages, readers can glance at the annual Women’s Impact Report – a listing that highlights 50 women working in media and entertainment.
“In 2022, Variety’s Power of Women event and our Women’s Impact Report take on perhaps greater significance than ever before,” Michelle Sobrino-Stearns, CEO and publisher of Variety, shared in a statement. “Our event and our coverage preceded the last few years of dramatic, positive shifts in recognition for women in our industry as well as the suddenly burgeoning range of new professional opportunities. We are thrilled to see real progress occurring and to gather — in person — in New York to amplify our honorees’ important causes alongside the stunning achievements of the women profiled in our yearly report.”
Her elation was echoed by Amy Winter, EVP, and head of programming at Lifetime & Lifetime Movie Network.
“With advocacy as a core tenant of Lifetime’s DNA, we are thrilled to continue our partnership with Variety to honor these incredible women and the causes they care most about,” Winter said. “The powerful women profiled are inspirations for us all.”
