About this challenge
Moms work hard around the clock. From the early stages of our lives to the most significant moments, and the most difficult ones alike, moms show up at every level. Somehow they manage to accomplish this while working to provide, or working to keep the house together, therefore making them the strongest woman on our team!
Whether natural or chosen, there’s a powerful mother behind all of us. For this Challenge, we want you to honor some of the mothers, grandmothers, and all the extended mothers in-between who have left their mark on you. Enter the Boss Mom Challenge and share the most significant lessons they've taught you, and how their influence shaped your life! In what ways are you thankful for them? What advice do you hold dear and carry with you today because of them? Whether they’re responsible for shaping your career choices, or your moral values, share a story celebrating and honoring your #BossMom.
We’ve partnered with the Female Quotient for this Challenge because they firmly believe in empowering and uplifting women by offering them visibility across all walks of life. We encourage you to include images, videos, and other keepsakes that bond you and the special leading lady in your life. ❤️

Twenty-Four Hours Challenge Winners
The best Twenty-Four Hours entries weren’t really about fitting as much as possible into a day. They were about showing us a version of a place that felt personal, shaped by favorite stops, old memories, local quirks, and the little things you only notice only after knowing somewhere for a long time.

The Most Overrated Challenge Winners
The Most Overrated challenge wasn't really about tearing down popular things. A lot of the best critiques came from writers who understood the appeal, sometimes even loved the work, but had one particular thing they couldn’t get past. That made for arguments that felt less like hot takes and more like conversations with something the writer had actually spent time thinking about. They gave credit where it was due, then got specific about characters, choices, or ideas that kept the hype from matching their experience.
