Congratulations to our summer intern for 2023, Paige Guidry, a high school senior studying abroad at the Swiss International Scientific School in Dubai. Paige, a Houston, Texas native has a passion for helping people and wants to pursue a career in the medical profession.
Paige is a matured, open-minded, and compassionate young woman who IBWPPI is honored to work with as we focus on building the bench of prepared Black women at home and abroad. We wish Paige well as she begins her senior year of high school and contemplates her next steps.
Joy is a Movement Are You In?
IBWPPI Joins the Joy Movement sweeping across the nation.
With so much disturbing news and challenges in our daily lives, we have decided to place Joy at the center of our work. Kindness is a part of our vision: Connecting and advocating for Black women globally through acts of kindness and public policy. This is why, President Perkins joined the Southern Black Girls Dream Conference held in Memphis, Tn., this past June. The conference aimed to bring joy to over 1300 registered guests and it sure did.
The same infectious joy was felt in Los Angeles California, when the California Black Women’s Collective hosted the first Black Girls Joy Festival on the campus of California State University Dominguez Hills Campus. President Perkins was happy to be one of the Joy Ambassadors for the 300 registered girls of all ages who showed up, Major Karen Bass, Assembly Woman Tina McKinnor, and other dignitaries accepted the invitation to share in the Joy Festival.
