With decades of experience working in the film production industry, Mary Phillipa Sledge heads Memphis-based SledgePro Media LLC., which invests in and produces documentary films and other projects. Dedicated to helping others, Mary Phillipa Sledge regularly donates her time and finances to several charitable endeavors, including Bridge2Rwanda (B2R). Formed in 2007, B2R encourages foreign investment and creates opportunities for students who live in Rwanda to study abroad. It identifies Rwanda’s most promising students and provides them a chance to study in another country. In 2015, B2R awarded 34 international scholarships from a pool of more than 2,000 applications. One of the ways B2R assists students is through is B2R Scholars Program. This program supports students by providing them with host families, who offer guidance and a home away from home when school is out. B2R also offers academic and personal counseling as well as career coaching to locate job opportunities in Africa. In addition, it seeks out African internships that offer practical work experiences to students.
