SHEforPPE coming to a city near you!

Hi all!

We at EBW & EBW Cares Distributors, in partnership with the Global Black Women’s Chamber of Commerce, are so excited to announce that #SHEforPPE is coming to a city near you!  

We are pleased to announce the 25 cities for our inaugural nationwide rollout. This business creation opportunity for female leaders is looking to do the most good in the communities that have been hit hardest by COVID-19.  

We have been just overwhelmed by the positive response from our initial announcement about this program last month and can’t wait to introduce you to the amazing women who are part of our launch cohort!

What’s SHEforPPE?

The SHEforPPE program launched earlier this summer, as a result of Empowering a Billion Women joining forces with Suzan Johnson “Sujay” Cook, Founder of the Global Black Women’s Chamber of Commerce and former Ambassador under Presidents Clinton and Obama.  

Recognizing that women have been particularly affected by the pandemic, coupled with racial inequities that have been at the forefront of the nation’s attention in recent months, we decided to combine resources to combat these challenges. 

 After much deliberation, Ambassador Sujay and I have selected 25 communities across the U.S. that are the most afflicted by these issues to found #SHEforPPE consultancies. These opportunities are for women who are bold and entrepreneurial and are eager to have a positive influence. Not only will participants have the mentorship and guidance of EBW and EBW Cares, but importantly they will be part of a strong network of women.

1. Washington, D.C.
