Class of 2025: Rewriting Power

This year’s honorees represent a new kind of power, one defined not by volume or hierarchy, but by presence, intention, and the ability to move people through truth and artistry. In a world that rewards noise, they choose clarity. In a culture obsessed with speed, they choose depth.

Their artistry shows up in many forms—in the way they tell stories, build movements, shape culture, and create pathways for others to rise. There is a distinct aura shared by each of them — their allure draws you in before a single word is spoken. This is the Class of 2025: the artists, the architects, the voices, and the visionaries redefining power for a new era.

Cielestia Calbay

There’s a certain pull to Cielestia — a quiet magnetism that can’t be taught, only lived. She moves with a grounded certainty, a grace shaped by intention rather than performance. Her impact reveals itself in the subtleties: the steadiness of her presence, the clarity of her expression, and the way the room reorients around her without her ever needing to ask for space.

She carries a force that hums beneath the surface — not loud, but resonant and powerful. It’s an aura you feel before you understand it, something that lingers long after the moment has passed, like a light you can’t quite name but can’t forget.
