HGTV star Egypt Sherrod is spotlighting her nonprofit organization, 1000 Women Owned, following the cancellation of her and her husband, Mike Sherrod‘s series, Married to Real Estate.
TV Insider reported that Egypt took to her Instagram account on July 20 to encourage her followers to check out her organization, which she launched in early 2025. According to the nonprofit’s mission statement, 1000 Women Owned, which was co-founded with Elizabeth Oates, is “committed to empowering and uplifting 1,000 women-owned businesses by 2030.”
Egypt’s July 20 post featured a picture that showed her posing with her daughters, Kendall and Harper.
In the caption of the post, she wrote an uplifting message about women in business.
“To the woman carrying silent dreams and loud responsibilities… We see you. To the one rebuilding herself in between work calls, nap times, school schedules and quiet tears… We honor you. And to the one who’s been told ‘it’s too late’ or ‘you missed your chance’…They were wrong,” read a portion of the caption. “You can never miss your own becoming. There is no deadline… No expiration on your brilliance. No cap on how far you can go. You still get to grow. You still get to choose yourself. You still get to win. I created a space just for you Not to impress you, but to remind you of who you already are. Powerful. Capable. Ready.”
She also encouraged her fans to follow the official Instagram account for 1000 Women Owned.
Several fans flocked to the post’s comments section to share they appreciated the message.
“I find it so hard to balance everything sometimes. You are an inspiration,” wrote a commenter.
“I will not quit. GOD gave me a dream and I have a purpose. I will fulfill my purpose. Thanks for your encouragement,” added another.
“Thank you for these wonderful words and reminder. I needed to read this today ❤️,” shared a different person.
The Sherrods confirmed that Married to Real Estate, which premiered in 2022, didn’t get renewed in June 2025. The couple also shared that the series got a nomination for Outstanding Instructional/How-To Program for the 2025 Daytime Emmys in a July 2025 Instagram upload.
“The show wrapped. We packed up, said our thank-yous, and started plotting our next move, with gratitude in our hearts. Then the universe hit us with an Emmy nomination,” read the caption of the post. “Apparently, Married to Real Estate is still making noise—even without new episodes. We’re deeply honored, wildly grateful, and just bold enough to say: yeah, we’re gonna celebrate this one. Huge love to the Academy, our phenomenal crew, and everyone who tuned in.”
Egypt and her husband, who has a 23-year-old daughter named Simone, spoke about the importance of family during a May 2025 interview on the Portia Show. According to the couple, their extended family has helped take care of their children while they have built their careers.
“We’re grateful. We told everyone once we get off this rollercoaster, everyone’s going on a trip,” said Egypt.
