American Expre$$: 100 for 100
Hey PPG hustlers!! We have something we have been dying to tell you. . . Sherin Dawud, 1/2 of the dynamic duo behind PPG Inc., will be repping our #girlgang by teaming up with American Express for their #Amex100for100 program!
The 100 for 100 program, in addition to supplying a grant, will be offering 100 days of business resources to all the participants. This program is based on a partnership with iFundWomen (sound familiar?! we used this platform for our crowdfunding). Amex 100 for 100 is only a layer of the mission that American Express has established as a part of their $1 billion dollar action plan to encourage diverse representation and equality within the areas that they hold influence and power. We will be standing alongside dynamic and unique women from all over the U.S.
“The Black women entrepreneurs selected for the program have created many types of innovative, early-stage businesses across the country, inspiring and carving new paths for others to follow. Their business plans demonstrate that great ideas often come out in times of hardship, and American Express is committed to continuing to back small businesses and advance equal opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs, particularly during these challenging times.”
PPG is honored to join 99 other Black women on this exciting journey that will be full of learning and growth for the companies and women. Raina Beau and Sherin Dawud both share a heart with the same beat for people and their community. PPG couldn’t have made it with our #hustlers, so thank you, every little and big thing has led us all here. We are just getting started and look forward to continuing the PPG mission of empowering women to connect and serve.
