We are creating a cause advocacy movement. It's more than cause marketing- it's teaching non profits and businesses how to create relationships or tribes with each other and their clients/donors so that they can not only survive in today's economy, but prosper using our event series called, THE POWERFUL IMAGE EVENTS!

If you work with a motivated non profit or an altruistically minded business that is open to progressive ideas, give me a call and I will set up an interview to see if they qualify. We teach this for free because we believe it's the right thing to do.

Bpeace spreads the idea that business has an important role to play in making the world a more peaceful place. That more jobs mean less violence. That when people have something to lose, they are more likely to keep the peace.

We currently operate in Rwanda and Afghanistan and will expand to a third country in 2010. Bpeace is a non-profit U.S.-based coalition of business professionals who volunteer to help carefully selected Fast Runner women entrepreneurs in post-conflict countries. These women are in the best position to create jobs for others. We provide coaching, mentoring and access to capital and markets to expand their businesses, create employment and build a more peaceful future for their communities.
