Alumna to Speak at U.S. Embassy Campaign

The U.S. Embassy recruited Meagan Ward (B.B.A.’13, Marketing), the Founder and Co-owner of Detroit’s first modern business lounge for women, FEMOLOGY, and Owner of Creatively Flawless Branding Agency, to speak during the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence—an international campaign and series of empowerment events taking place at the U.S. Embassy headquarters in Tbilisi, Georgia.

The 16-day campaign serves as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and girls. The campaign runs every year from November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to December 10, Human Rights Day.

As part of the campaign, which begins November 25, 2017, Meagan will participate in the Embassy's Women's Mentoring Program, and conduct a series of keynotes and lectures on entrepreneurship and women empowerment targeted toward students, young business owners, and business support centers in Tbilisi.

“Meagan’s work to elevate the role of women in business and society is truly inspiring, and she embodies a message we hope to convey during our 16 Days Against Gender Violence campaign. We want women here to see an example of someone who has triumphed over hardship and hopefully be inspired to take the next step towards achieving their own dreams,” said Damian Wampler, Cultural Attaché, United States Embassy.

On November 24, Meagan will travel to the United States Embassy headquarters in Tbilisi to kick off the campaign.
