What motivated you to pursue a career in public relations?
I love promoting positive people, products, and publications. That’s my passion, and I love sharing good stories.
Tell us about some high-profile clients you’ve worked with.
I worked with TD Jakes, and I set up his first “virtual” press conference – and he just rolled with it and rocked with it. He’s so cool and humble and answered every journalist’s question. I worked with Dr. Myles Monroe – and he is so inspiring….and funny. I’ve with Dr. Stacia Pierce – and she was featured on OWN – her first media hits were local.
Share some of your most rewarding experiences in PR.
Seeing my clients go from obscurity to being “famous.” I love building brands. They have stories to share and I love helping them make an impact and doing it professionally. I’ve done PR for McDonald’s to Automotive companies, but I enjoy working with messengers who bring light.
