Women who are secretly battling a fluxation of various symptoms when dealing with menopause and perimenopause.  This is an opportunity to find out that you are not the only one feeling the way you do.  Six professionals hosted by Dr. Ashley Anderson are working to help you control your hormones.  We are honored to have the following to accompany Dr. Anderson on this virtual summit: Dr. Sakinah Bunch, Dr. Katherine Phillips, Lemar Storey, Tamecka Outten,and Dr. Pam Perry-Hill.

Dr. Anderson says “I’m excited to be able to assemble these experts. In the last year, women are beginning to talk more publicly about the things that’s happening to them.  Many say they were never told at a certain age it will happen. Some women are having a difficult time and have no one to talk to so and/or hear another person’s testimony. This is your chance to hear in the comfort of your home and/or office.  You are not alone and we want to let you know that.  I invite you to be apart of this movement so that our daughters, granddaughter and nieces do not have to face the same situation.”

Louisville native Miss Ariel Thompson crowned Miss Black USA

Posted on by

August 6, 2023

MEDIA ALERT

(Washington, DC) Tonight, in Washington the Miss Black USA crowned a winner.  Louisville, Kentucky native Ariel Thompson will represent the scholarship pageant. Her reign begins this evening and Thompson will hold the title for one year. 

Thompson will return to Louisville later this week.  To set up an interview contact VIPP Communications at info@vippcommunications.com or by calling 502.341.7306. 

For the first time in more than ten years, Kentucky was represented in the pageant.  Miss Ariel Thompson, Ms. Dominique Joy Thompson and Nia Franklin all travelled to Washington to compete. 

We would like to congratulate Miss Talented Teen Nia Franklin.  This evening, she placed first runner-up.  Ms. Dominique Joy Thompson won the fitness competition in the Ms. Division. 

Dr. Ashley Anderson says “I’m so excited about Ariel’s win.  She earned this great honor, and we are celebrating this huge accomplishment.  I’m excited for all three of our delegates.  Nia and Joy represented their divisions and gave us momentum heading into this year’s Miss Black Kentucky.  It’s a great feeling.  This was a great evening.  To hear the audience cheering for the young ladies brought tears to my eyes. These ladies have worked hard and represented this pageant in a grand way.”

The birth of the Miss Black Kentucky USA franchise is one that will have an impact on young women of Kentucky for generations to come. Beyond the scholarships that will be awarded in Miss, Ms., and Teen divisions, the life skills programming will be sure to elevate the minds and lives of all participants. It will groom leaders, shed light on issues of concern in the community, and meaningfully fund the educational pursuits of Black women in Kentucky. It is my intent that this program becomes the largest scholarship funding source for young women of color across Kentucky.

Again, to set up an interview with any of our Kentucky delegates, please contact VIPP Communications at info@vippcommunications.com.
