Chaya Raichik receives Resilience Award from IWF
Chaya Raichik becomes the 4th recipient of the pretigous Resilience Award.
Last night, Libs of TikTok founder Chaya Raichik was invited to attend the Independent Women’s Forum (IWF) Awards Gala to be honored as the recipient of the distinguished Resilience Award.
The Resilience Award, as stated by the IWF, “recognizes a woman or man who exhibits bravery, courage, and inner strength and helps create stronger, more vibrant communities by encouraging more respectful dialogue and civic engagement.”
Chaya humbly took to the stage to accept the award stating, “How did a girl from Brooklyn wind up here tonight winning an award in front of hundreds of people?”
During her speech, she told the story of how Libs of TikTok came to be.
About two and half years ago, with zero background in politics, media, or journalism, I created an anonymous Twitter or X account, called Libs of TikTok. I would share vidoes of radical leftists and activists in their own words. I simply held up a mirror to what they themselves were saying.
She elaborated on the current state of societal culture and how it has affected the lives of women.
We live in a world where a large portion of the population doesn’t know right from wrong. Where a Supreme Court justice doesn’t know the meaning of the word woman. Where medical professionals think men can get pregnant. Thanks to the work of the Independent Women’s Forum and many of you in this room- change and sanity is finally on the horizon.
Chaya also highlighted the profound impact that Libs of TikTok has made across the country.
But look what happened as a result of staying focused on Libs of Tiktok’s mission. I was able to impact legislation across the country to protect children. The media gave me credit for influencing various laws including banning sex change surgeries for minors, banning sexual adult themed entertainment for children, and removing gender ideology from schools.
But most of all, she spoke to the mindset that keeps her going day in and day out.
Find your resilience. Find your strength. So when you leave here tonight, I want you all to remember that you have the strength within yourself to stand up for the truth, and just about the time you feel like giving up is exactly the time that you need to fight back harder.
Many people flocked to X(Twitter) to voice their support and praise Chaya for the contributions that she has brought to the movement through Libs of TikTok.
Thank you so much for being a part of the journey that made receiving an award like this possible! Your support means everything to us!
Congratulations! ❤️
Congratulations Chaya and keep it up!
