I have a background in writing, marketing, advertising, public relations, social media, events and business communications, which I’ve utilized across various industries over the past, ahem, 15 years. In 2016, I launched Signify to write and consult for cause-focused organizations like nonprofits, social justice organizations, social enterprises and other companies driven by a purpose or mission. It’s my desire for these types of companies to communicate in a more compelling and professional manner because I believe, and hope, they are the future of business. When they succeed, we all win. And I especially love working with small businesses. ------------ Select clients include: - Atlanta Dream Center - TrueNorth Freedom Project - Dr. Bombay's Underwater Tea Party and The Learning Tea - Be the Bridge to Racial Unity - Orange - Connect Faith Magazine - Habitat for Humanity
