Impact: PricelessDONATE/PRE-REGISTER NOWSometimes in life, things happen beyond our control. It seems everyday in the news we hear about another crisis that's unfolded onto our world, and most situations seem too big and terrible for us to make an impact on. But sometimes, in the midst of all the natural disasters and worldwide health epidemics, a major life-changing obstacle comes our way, and the news isn't delivered via network satellites from thousands of miles away.
Recently, our dear friend and colleague, Miriam Perry, suffered her own personal tragedy. Miriam's parents, Bice and Joe Rivera, lost everything they owned to a horrific and devastating fire.

Tell us a little bit about the Emerging Women in Business Event.
Well the conference basically was started as a spin-off from the Women’s Summit that’s held annually at Bryant University. It’s held under the direction of Kati Machtley. I’d been to that for a few years. And I sat down with Carol Malysz from the Center of Women and Enterprise as well and Kati and we said we really have to bring this info into the inner city and to the urban community, urban core, for low, lower moderate income women and more specifically women of color as well to be able to access the same information really regarding business opportunities and structuring your business and starting and growing a business. So that’s really the mission of the conference, to actually provide resources for women who otherwise might not know where to go or might not have the opportunity to be able to explore what they need to really strengthen their businesses.
Yes and what a great partnership between you and the Center for Women and Enterprise.
Yes it’s great because they obviously have the clientele and the resources already set up to help women...
