Joy Obidike is a PhD scientist by training. She is a Nigerian-American born and raised in South Carolina USA. From formative years and memories of long days in the immigration office with her mom and dad, she recognized the beautiful truth that all of humanity is connected. "We were all little children of many tribes . . . communicating in a singular universal language called 'love'." Dr. Joy is a philanthropic entrepreneur with a passion for generating wealth to build a better world. Her professional portfolio includes serving in the United States Senate as a NASA and Education Correspondent, presently contracting as an Aerospace and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Consultant in upholding social justice initiatives by the US Department of Education, as well as establishing global education equity programs in Uganda, Kenya, the USA, the Caribbean, and Canada, with projections for Brazil in late 2024. She has had the privilege of connecting with leaders like US President Barack Obama, US President Joseph Biden, the Late (US) Senator Theodore Kennedy, Prime Minister of Italy, US President George W. Bush, the late (US) Senator John McCain, and others. One of her highlight projects is eliminating menstruation poverty in education. To date, her teams have kept an innumerable host of girls in school and away from childhood prostitution as exchange for basic needs. Dr. Joy is popular in international speaker's summits with her work being recognized by the Women Deliver (WD) conference hosted in Kigali, Rwanda 2023; WD is one of the largest global girls' and women's equity platforms in the world. Most of Joy's work supports United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in achieving education equality--notably striving to impact the lives of girls of color in underserved areas. Her model is simple: find a need, connect with the everyday people, gather proper resources, build excellent teams, and make the difference together. In doing so, she demonstrates that one can move beyond imagining possibility to creating the world we all wish to see.
