Oakland, CA; April 10, 2023 – Anya Emerson, Co-Founder and COO of Mightly, Inc. has been named a 2023 Enterprising Women of the Year Award Winner, an annual tribute to the world’s top women entrepreneurs. Ms. Emerson will be recognized for her leadership in the category of businesses under $1M at the 21st Annual Enterprising Women of the Year Awards Celebration & Conference. The award will be bestowed on the last night of the conference, on Tuesday, May 23rd at the Wyndham Grand in Clearwater Beach, Florida.
“Anya Emerson is an accomplished business owner and leader in her field. We are so proud to recognize her contribution to her company, her community, and as a role model and mentor to other women and girls,” said Monica Smiley, CEO and publisher of Enterprising Women.
“I am honored to be recognized by Enterprising Women for my work with Mightly, Inc. Mightly is trying to do what no other children’s apparel brand has succeeded in doing: bringing 100% certified organic cotton clothing that is also entirely Fair Trade CertifiedTM to mainstream consumers who otherwise lack access to or cannot afford non-toxic, ethically produced children’s wear. I must emphasize that I would not be here today without the equally hard work of my co-founders, Tierra Forte, Mightly’s CEO, and Barrie Brouse, our Chief Creative Director,” Emerson said.
The Enterprising Women of the Year Awards is widely considered one of the most prestigious recognition programs for women business owners. To win, nominees must demonstrate that they have fast-growth businesses, mentor or actively support other women and girls involved in entrepreneurship, and stand out as leaders in their communities. Many of the honorees also serve as leaders of the key organizations that support the growth of women’s entrepreneurship.
The 2023 Enterprising Women of the Year Awards Celebration & Conference will bring together dynamic women business owners from North America and around the world for two full days of top-notch workshops, networking opportunities, corporate sponsor exhibits, and awards presentations. The celebration will shine the spotlight on honorees, with award presentations at the Enterprising Women of the Year Awards Gala Dinner.

As any parent knows, mornings can be hectic. Whether your child has sensory issues or just very strong opinions, getting dressed can mean frustration and tears. That is why Mightly thinks about kids, not trends, in every step of their design process. They make comfy, play-friendly styles for kids of all genders. They use soft fabrics and itch-free labels so touch-sensitive kids don’t hate getting dressed. And they make their clothes extra durable by using premium cotton, high quality construction, and special features like reinforced knees so you can pass them along when your child outgrows them. But that’s not all. Mightly uses certified organic cotton and non-toxic dyes because it’s better for your kids and for the kids who live in cotton farming communities. Their supply chain is completely transparent and certified: they know their factory, their suppliers, and even where the cotton is grown. By using certified organic cotton and working with a Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and Fair Trade Certified factory, Mightly supports sustainable farming and better working conditions for the people who make our clothes.
Mightly believes that farmers and workers should have safe and healthy working conditions and be paid fairly. They believe that all kids should be able to wear natural organic fabrics that are free from toxic dyes and chemicals. And they believe that all kids are Mightly, in their own way.
