Announcing The World Fertility Awards: Celebrating Global Change Agents Advancing Fertility Awareness, Innovation, and Inclusion
- This event recognizes the people supporting the future of fertility in three areas: Access & Awareness, Innovation & Technology, and Equity & Inclusion - NEW YORK, N.Y., June 17, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Pregnantish, the first global media platform dedicated to helping people navigate their fertility, announces the inaugural World Fertility Awards at The Times Center in New York City in December. Award nominations are now open at and will be accepted until August 1, 2025. The World Fertility Awards (WFAs), produced by pregnantish, will convene patients, advocates, medical professionals, public personalities, social influencers, media outlets, industry representatives, and digital health leaders working together to transform the future of family building around the world by celebrating progress and fostering momentum to advance fertility awareness, access, and care. Supported by host committees across seven global regions, the WFAs will reach millions of people worldwide who are struggling to conceive and/or can't access necessary treatment to build their families. 'At least 1 in 6 are experiencing infertility globally, according to the World Health Organization – and that's just what's reported,' says Andrea Syrtash, Relationships Author and Founder of pregnantish and the WFAs. 'With a global decline in fertility happening and dystopian fertility headlines trending in the news, the World Fertility Awards were conceived to raise awareness about infertility, recognize the heroes who develop life-changing healthcare, and amplify the stories of fertility and modern family-building.' Pregnantish is uniquely positioned to host this event, having reached over one billion globally since inception with high quality content, sold-out live events, scientifically published research on the patient journey, and education that's helped support patients and providers as they work together to build families with the help of Assisted Reproductive Technology. This event recognizes the people supporting the future of fertility in three areas: Access & Awareness, Innovation & Technology, and Equity & Inclusion. The WFAs has the support of global ambassadors which includes thought leaders from medicine, advocacy, journalism, technology, finance, and entertainment sectors. Members include respected fertility specialists like Dr. Rodrigo De Rosa (Brazil), Dr. Prati Sharma (Canada), Dr. Lusanda Shimange-Matsose, (South Africa) and US advocates like Sarah Kennedy Ellis, VP at Google, David Sable, Life Sciences Portfolio Manager, Eboni K. Williams, TV Host & Author, and Elizabeth Jordan Carr, the first U.S. IVF baby. Dr. Lucky Sekhon, co-chair of the US Host Committee and Infertility Specialist at RMA of New York — a practice within the US Fertility network, who is a sponsor of the event — shares: 'The World Fertility Awards are a recognition of the human stories and groundbreaking science that shape the field of reproductive medicine. Amplifying these voices is deeply meaningful because it reflects our shared commitment to innovation, collaboration, and equitable access to care.' Dr. Prateek Makwana, Director at Vasundhara Hospital and Co-Chair of the South Asia Host Committee notes, 'Infertility is on the rise in India. While people now seek medical opinion relatively quickly when trying to conceive, there is still a huge gap in how society sees and portrays infertility. The WFAs help with recognising people and amplifying real voices, breaking cultural taboos, and inspiring open conversations.' Gretchen Adcock, Head of Sales at Lending Club Patient Solutions, felt that it was important to support an event showing the need for people to access fertility treatments: 'Navigating treatment costs can be overwhelming, we know, and I'm glad to work for a company that offers budget-friendly plans and a straightforward application process. People shouldn't delay treatment because of cost; but sadly that's a reality for some in the US today.' Ola Taiwo, host of Africa's first fertility podcast and Co-Chair of the Africa Host Committee, says, 'In Nigeria, infertility is often misunderstood—especially for women. It's time to break the silence, challenge the shame, and recognize infertility for what it truly is: a medical condition, not a moral failure. We need more awareness, access, empathy, and support—and a complete shift in how we talk about it.' Learn more (Video/YouTube): Visit to submit award nominations and to take the pledge.

Voices For Humanity Sparks Transformation in Liberty City with Pastor Jeffrey Mack
LOS ANGELES, Calif., June 12, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Scientology Network's VOICES FOR HUMANITY, the weekly series presenting heroic change makers from a variety of faiths, cultures and nations, working to uplift their communities, announces a new episode featuring community activist Pastor Jeffrey Mack. VOICES FOR HUMANITY airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network. Liberty City, a Miami neighborhood marked by decades of violence, now faces a homicide rate nine times the national average. Leading the effort to turn the crisis around is Pastor Jeffrey Mack, whose 'One Brother, One Hood' approach is planting the seeds of tolerance and unity in the community. ABOUT PASTOR JEFFREY MACK As a teen, Pastor Jeffrey Mack saw firsthand the violence that had long devastated his community. After college, he entered the ministry and returned home, determined to be part of the solution. Introduced to The Way to Happiness, a common sense guide to better living, he made its 21 precepts central to his mission. Today, he's leading programs that empower residents and spark transformation. His work led to a partnership with the Miami-Dade Police Department, creating a first-of-its-kind training program that equips future officers with the principles of The Way to Happiness to better protect and serve the community. His efforts have helped drive the city's homicide rate to its lowest point in recorded history. Pastor Jeffrey Mack is President of the Circle of Brotherhood, a nonprofit guided by the motto: 'Black men solving our own community problems.' Scientology Network debuted on March 12, 2018, launched by David Miscavige, ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion. Since then, Scientology Network has been viewed in over 240 countries and territories worldwide in 17 languages. Satisfying the curiosity of people about Scientology, the network takes viewers across six continents, spotlighting the everyday lives of Scientologists, showing the Church as a global organization and presenting its Social Betterment programs that have touched the lives of millions worldwide.
