Global Sisterhood — Empire & Parco PI Champion Women's Empowerment

On a Saturday night in New York City, Pittsburgh's Robert Kresson, CEO of Empire Investigation LLC, made the trip from the Steel City to the Big Apple to stand alongside New York's legendary Vinny Parco of the TV series Parco PI, and Dr. Shellie Hipsky — the driving force behind the "Global Sisterhood."

The Global Sisterhood is an organization dedicated to empowering women from around the world to support, love, and inspire one another to be great. Dr. Hipsky's vision is as personal as it is global. She recalls one woman from Pakistan who wears a veil in a male-dominated society, holds a master's degree despite enormous barriers to education, and works as a women's rights activist through SAWERA.

Together, Kresson and Parco represent a combined legacy spanning more than 20,000 cases of domestic infidelity, corporate espionage, and electronic surveillance — and a lifetime of witnessing women at their most vulnerable. What drew Kresson to Dr. Hipsky's cause was that very experience.

"I've seen and done my best to help thousands of women who have been in abusive relationships — both physically and emotionally — where their spouses have done basically everything to break them. Dr. Hipsky's organization promotes a fantastic message: no matter what you have gone through in your life as a woman, you are loved and can accomplish anything."
