I enjoyed engaging in lively conversation with some very talented students at the University of Florida’s School of Journalism. Thanks for inviting me, Professor Patrick Ford.
Thank you, EVP & Chief Marketing & Communications Officer at @ConeHealth Chuck Wallington (@CFWallington), for speaking in @fordpat's class today! Our students were able to gain a lot of insight into the challenges of COVID-19 vaccine deployment in minority communities! ⚕️👏

Thanks, Tony! With this research, I continue challenging every hiring leader/decision maker to help close this gap by hiring, developing, promoting and retaining African-American male talent in our profession.

Such wisdom from your mother.
Thank God for my mother and all those teachers and coaches who taught me many, many years ago: “Win with humility and lose with grace.” Any other approach is extremely sad and pathetic—

Congratulations!
When one of the top communications schools was looking for its next leader, it looked to @NewhouseSU. Congratulations, @ProfHB! newhouse.syr.edu/news/newhou…

My 90-year-old Mom & I voted today. Although her memory isn’t what it used to be, she’s crystal clear on the importance of her vote for this election. For that, I thank God.

Thanks for inviting me to be a part of the conversation!
InstituteForPR: Thank you @CFWallington for joining us! #IPRFOC2
To clarify, research indicates African-American males feel this way because there are so few African Americans in our profession.
InstituteForPR: Did you know one of the barriers that prevent African American males from entering and advancing in the public relations industry is a lack of support and friendship from other African American colleagues? #IPRFOC2
Enjoyed continuing the conversation about the barriers facing African-American men in public relations by sharing this thought and others.
"The true change occurs when we're all a bit uncomfortable, but we're doing what is right." @CFWallington #IPRFOC2

I’m looking forward to sharing my research on barriers facing African American males in the public relations profession.
Only one more week to register for an opportunity to hear from @ConeHealth Chief Marketing and Communications Officer and IPR Trustee @CFWallington! ow.ly/Qu5d50BfQhA.
I’m looking forward to partnering with some of the Public Relations industry’s best as we support and share our experiences some of our #Leadersoftomorrow.
African-American men have been left out and left behind too long the public relations profession. I’m looking forward to another opportunity to raise awareness about an important gap in our profession. My prayer remains that these conversations quickly result in tangible actions.
Register for @InstituteForPR’s Future of Comms Conference. @ConeHealth’s CCO will be speaking about the barriers, borders and boundaries that African American males face in the PR profession. More details below:

Thanks @craigmelvin for the way you captured the sentiments of so many Black men. Appreciate your open & honest leadership.
Excited to be included in this important research.
Companies are striving to reach a place where DE&I is inextricably woven into the fabric of its culture and operations, according to @CFWallington. Check out our e-book to learn how leaders are addressing DE&I in their own companies: ow.ly/85ij50Aylbg

Check out this insightful & informative interview with my friend George Johnson, Dean Emeritus of the Elon University Law School.
“One has to look at it as a hopeful document, as a hopeful set of aspirations even though we have fallen short of it.” @ElonLaw Dean Emeritus George R. Johnson Jr. reflecting on the Declaration of Independence with Elon Law Dean Luke Bierman. 📺 buff.ly/3dRM3hr

This declaration is true. There is diverse talent. Finding them, though, must be an intentional business strategy.
Diverse applicants are out there! The pool is there. You need to be deliberate and intentional with recruitment, search, hiring. - Dr. Damion Waymer #RPRC #PRprofs
