Los Angeles, CA, USA – September 8, 2026 – The red carpet won’t be the only thing turning heads at this year’s Heather Mariana Celebrity Gifting Suite in Hollywood on September 10. Celebrated entrepreneur, bestselling author, and founder of The Women’s Channel, Deb Drummond, along with an extraordinary group of women, will present hand-signed copies of the acclaimed anthology, Mission Accepted: 262 Women Entrepreneurs, Ultrapreneurs, Creatives & Media Rock Legacy & Tell-All—also known as The 262 Book—to a select roster of Hollywood’s most influential stars and media insiders. The book has recently been accepted into the Canadian History and Archives.

Taking place poolside at the Beverly Hills Marriott during the highly anticipated Harvest Celebrity Gifting Suite, Honoring the 2026 Emmys®, the event is hosted by The Heather Marianna Group and is expected to welcome more than 200 celebrities and entertainment industry professionals. Expected attendees include Tim Gross, guitarist for Rick Springfield; Emmy Award-winning The Young and the Restless star Sharon Case; Obba Babatundé of S.W.A.T.; Lauren Weedman of the Emmy-nominated series Hacks; Gregori J. Martin, Emmy-winning creator of The Bay; and Marie Constance of The George Lopez Show.

Drummond and a select group of women representing the larger international movement will offer an inspiring, one-on-one gifting experience, sharing the stories and missions behind one of today’s most dynamic women’s empowerment initiatives. Representing the project alongside Drummond are Emily Bassett, Lavada England, Liz Goll Lerner, Cathy Holt, Kaitlyn Lakusta, Andrea Nechita, Rhonda Travers, and Susan Winchester, each bringing her own legacy of leadership, creativity, entrepreneurship, and change-making to the experience.

Also joining the group is Ocean Baker, the artist who created the book’s cover art and designed merchandise for the 262 Women’s Project. Baker will personally be on hand to sign copies of the book as part of the gifting experience.

The 262 Book is far more than a collection of personal journeys. It is a movement. Featuring the real-life stories of 262 contemporary women blazing new trails in business, media, innovation, and social change, the book also honors the legacy of historic female pioneers through a dedicated 50-page tribute. The result is a vibrant, intergenerational tapestry of bold voices, uniting the past and present in a call to action for what comes next.

“This is about legacy, leadership, and leverage,” says Drummond. “We’re placing the stories of women who are shaping the future directly into the hands of those who help shape the culture. It’s a bold move—and the right moment.”

Designed as an exclusive hand-gifting experience, each exchange creates an opportunity for personal connection, conversation, and visibility for the women featured in the book. In a space where influence and inspiration intersect, these stories are poised to spark meaningful dialogue and new media opportunities.

Participation in the Emmys® gifting experience continues a five-year tradition for Drummond and marks another major milestone in The 262 Book‘s ongoing international tour. The movement has already reached audiences through live events in Canada, Ireland, Texas, and New York, as well as global virtual summits that have united thousands of women under a shared banner of ambition, leadership, and action.

In addition to sharing The 262 Book, Drummond will spotlight The Women’s Channel, a streaming platform dedicated to showcasing the lives, missions, expertise, and impact of extraordinary women from the 262 Women’s Movement and beyond. The platform is being built as a global stage where women can share their stories, elevate their brands, and bring their own television show concepts to life.

For the first time, Drummond and her team will also invite select celebrities and members of the media to participate in exclusive interviews for The Women’s Channel. The team will unveil The Women’s Channel merchandise line, with celebrities receiving a special Emmys Edition Natsukashii Ink Collaborative Women’s Channel hat.

With more than 350 million media impressions and counting, the momentum behind the 262 Women’s Movement continues to grow. Its presence during Emmys® week represents the next chapter of a bold international mission to amplify women’s voices, preserve their stories, and redefine what modern legacy and leadership can look like.
