2025 Muse Honorees Lisa Cortés and Teen Vogue's Versha Sharma

This week, meet Muse Honorees director/producer Lisa Cortés and Teen Vogue Editor Versha Sharma!
Lisa takes us behind the scenes of iconic projects including Precious, Little Richard: I Am Everything and The Space Race, telling stories that inspire a new examination of figures we thought we knew and push positive change forwards.
Versha opens up about her journey coming of age in a post-9/11 world to making history as the first Southeast Asian Editor-in-Chief of Teen Vogue, helping young people find their voice and highlighting unique voices.
We asked our NYWIFT community — who’s your muse? Hear their answers in a special bonus segment!
