Shannon Keith
Keith confronted her life’s purpose while traveling through the red light districts of India. While she listened to countless stories of women trapped in India’s sex trade, an idea formed. A social entrepreneur who believes that a solid “double bottom line” business practice can change the world, Keith was compelled to action. International Princess™ Project (IPP) was born. Women who enter one of IPP’s 4 sewing centers learn transferrable skills, produce a give-back loungewear product called PUNJAMMIES™ and earn an above-fair-trade wage, while receiving the medical and emotional support to recover from the traumas of the sex trade world. Some even realize career aspirations they never dreamed possible.
