The third and final stop of the art walk will be at Hidden Gem NY, a home decor and lifestyle boutique owned by sisters Tanya Willock and Temidra Willock-Morsch. After visiting the vibrant art organizations in Southampton, a private brunch will be co-hosted by Brown Skin Brunchin’.

The festival wraps up with an opening reception to celebrate artist Alvin Clayton‘s residency at the Southampton African American Museum, which is available for viewing through October 2024.

Mission ShakthiSAT Mascot Unveiled at BRICS CCI WE Summit 2026 – A Global Call for Inclusive Space Collaboration Led by India

Published

on

India, 1st Apr 2026, New Delhi –  In a landmark moment for global cooperation in space science and women-led innovation, the mascot of Mission ShakthiSAT was officially unveiled at the BRICS Chamber of Commerce & Industry Women Empowerment (BRICS CCI WE) Annual Summit 2026 in New Delhi. The unveiling, graced by Ms. Meenakshi Lekhi, Former Minister of State for External Affairs, along with Ms. Ruby Sinha, President BRICS CCI WE, ambassadors, and delegates from BRICS and partner nations, marked a powerful convergence of diplomacy, science, and gender inclusion.

Adding to this moment of recognition and impact, Dr. Srimathy Kesan, Founder & CEO of Space Kidz India and Mission Director of ShakthiSAT, was honoured with the prestigious “Changemaker of the Year” Award by BRICS CCI WE. She expressed that this recognition is a great honour and a reflection of the collective efforts of young girls, global partners, and supporters who are driving meaningful change through space science and education.

The Shakthi mascot, conceptualised by Dr. Srimathy Kesan, with design execution by artist Bikram Dutt and apparel design by Ms. Harsha (Hashtag), stands as a symbol of strength, UNITY, and the transformative potential of the girl child in shaping the future of space exploration. The 108 flags on the shirt of the mascot represent the 108 participating countries in the mission.This mascot will be carried to the MOON With the 108 Country flags. “ONE UNIVERSE ONE FAMILY”

Rooted in the timeless Indian philosophy of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” — the world is one family, Mission ShakthiSAT is a bold global initiative led by Space Kidz India under the leadership of Dr. Srimathy Kesan. The mission aims to empower 12,000 girls from 108 countries through intensive, hands-on training in STEM, satellite engineering, coding, and space systems. Over the course of the program, students undergo extensive hours of structured learning, technical workshops, and collaborative design processes, ensuring that participation goes beyond inspiration to real, measurable skill-building and scientific contribution.

Mission ShakthiSAT is envisioned as the world’s first all-girls international lunar mission, comprising both a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite as a technology demonstrator and a lunar satellite targeting a hard landing on the Moon. This mission is not only a technological endeavor but also a global platform for scientific collaboration, enabling students from diverse geographies to work together on experiments that address real-world challenges. It reflects a shift in the global space paradigm—from isolated missions and duplication of effort to shared knowledge, collective innovation, and responsible use of space resources.

India’s leadership in this initiative underscores its evolving role as a unifying force in the global space ecosystem. By bringing together nations—large and small—Mission ShakthiSAT ensures that access to space is not limited by geography or economic status. The mission seeks to build an inclusive international framework where countries collaborate rather than compete, and where young girls are empowered to lead scientific discovery. In this spirit, the team also looks forward to meaningful engagement with global leadership, including a potential interaction with the Honorable Prime Minister of India, to further strengthen the mission’s vision and impact on a national and international scale.

The unveiling at the BRICS CCI WE Summit aligns with the theme “Women in Innovation, Science & Entrepreneurship (WISE) – Inspiring Change, Shaping Tomorrow,” reinforcing the importance of women’s leadership in shaping future economies and technologies. Mission ShakthiSAT embodies this vision by creating pathways for girls to actively participate in high-impact scientific missions while fostering international cooperation across BRICS+ and partner nations.

Building on the success of previous initiatives such as AzaadiSAT, where 750 rural Indian girls contributed to the development and successful launch of a satellite, Mission ShakthiSAT expands this model globally. It demonstrates that talent exists universally, and that with the right opportunities, mentorship, and access, young minds can contribute meaningfully to advanced scientific and technological missions.

The mission is now entering a critical phase, with selected students from participating countries expected to travel to India for hands-on payload integration, testing, and ground station development, followed by launch preparations.

The international student program and travel to India is scheduled from August 23 to September 1, 2026, during which participants will engage in intensive hands-on training, collaboration, and mission integration activities.

As the mission progresses toward its orbital and lunar milestones, Space Kidz India is actively engaging with global institutions, industry leaders, and stakeholders to build strong support systems and partnerships.

Mission ShakthiSAT is currently seeking CSR partners and institutional collaborators to support this historic initiative. Organizations aligned with the vision of inclusive growth, STEM education, and global cooperation are invited to partner in enabling access, infrastructure, training, and mission development—ensuring that this transformative opportunity reaches deserving girls across the world.

Mission ShakthiSAT is supported by a strong ecosystem of partners and collaborators who have stood by the initiative and contributed to its growth and impact. The team extends its sincere gratitude to IN-SPACe, ISRO, Hexaware, Ananth Technologies, Zoho Learn, AIMERS Foundation, Meridien Space Command, BCI Aerospace, World Space Week Association, and several other global and regional partners, whose continued support has been instrumental in advancing the mission’s goals.

The Shakthi mascot represents more than a mission—it represents a movement. A movement where a girl from any part of the world can build, innovate, and lead in space science. A movement where nations come together not in competition, but in collaboration. And a movement where space becomes a shared platform for peace, progress, and collective human advancement.

Space Kidz India, the organization behind this initiative, has established itself as a pioneer in student-led space missions, having launched over 20 balloon satellites, 3 suborbital satellites, 5 orbital satellites, and 2 rocket launches, while inspiring thousands of students through hands-on international exposure and training. With Mission ShakthiSAT, the organization takes a significant step forward in scaling its vision globally, positioning India at the forefront of a new era in space exploration defined by inclusion, collaboration, and purpose.

AMZ Shipper Expands Cross-Border Logistics Network to Support Growing Amazon Seller Demand

Published

on

AMZ Shipper expands freight forwarding and FBA prep services with new warehouses, transparent pricing, and dedicated account managers. The logistics provider helps Amazon sellers navigate supply chain challenges through end-to-end shipping, real-time tracking, and multi-channel fulfillment support.

SHENZHEN, CHINA – As cross-border e-commerce continues to accelerate, AMZ Shipper, a specialized logistics provider for Amazon sellers, today announced the continued expansion of its freight forwarding and FBA prep services. With a growing network of warehouses across China and a commitment to transparent pricing, the company is positioning itself as a key partner for sellers navigating increasingly complex global supply chains.

The expansion comes at a time when Amazon sellers face mounting challenges: fluctuating freight rates, FBA warehouse congestion, and stricter compliance requirements. For many sellers, finding a reliable freight forwarder has become a critical factor in maintaining inventory levels and protecting profit margins.

“We understand that each shipment is unique,” said a spokesperson for AMZ Shipper. “Our approach is built on personalized service—whether a seller is shipping their first sample or their hundredth container, we tailor our solutions to meet their specific needs.”

A Data-Driven Approach to Freight Forwarding

The company’s service model emphasizes four operational priorities: competitive pricing, logistics efficiency, partner reliability, and service customization. By working with a network of vetted carriers and customs brokers, AMZ Shipper provides end-to-end logistics coverage from factory pickup in China to final delivery at Amazon fulfillment centers in the US and Europe.

Real-time tracking and proactive communication are built into the company’s operational workflow, giving sellers visibility into their shipments throughout the transit process. Each client is assigned a dedicated account manager, a structure intended to address the industry-wide challenge of inconsistent customer support responsiveness.

AMZ Shipper Distribution Warehouse

Meeting the Demands of Modern E-Commerce

As more Amazon sellers expand into multi-channel sales—including TikTok Shop, Walmart Marketplace, and direct-to-consumer websites—logistics providers are increasingly expected to support diverse fulfillment models. AMZ Shipper’s service offerings extend beyond traditional FBA shipments to include direct-to-consumer fulfillment and hybrid inventory management.

The company operates warehouses across key manufacturing regions in China and reports handling thousands of containers annually. With a 24/7 support team and a presence across multiple countries, AMZ Shipper is structured to serve sellers operating across different time zones and markets.

Transparency as a Competitive Advantage

Hidden fees remain a frequent point of contention between Amazon sellers and freight forwarders. In response, AMZ Shipper provides detailed, all-inclusive quotes prior to engagement. Clients receive a line-item breakdown of ocean freight, customs clearance, trucking, and documentation fees—an approach designed to eliminate unexpected charges at the time of invoicing.

“We believe that trust is built on transparency,” the spokesperson added. “Our goal is to make cross-border logistics as straightforward as possible, so sellers can focus on growing their business rather than worrying about supply chain disruptions.”

About AMZ Shipper

AMZ Shipper is a cross-border logistics provider specializing in freight forwarding and FBA prep services for Amazon sellers. With warehouses in China and a global partner network, the company is committed to delivering efficient, transparent, and personalized logistics solutions.
