I came to PR in a roundabout way, via engineering, marketing, sales and IT consulting. When I finally landed in PR ( at the agency where I still work today), I learned I was good at this. But key experiences along the way led me to wonder what it means to do a good job in PR. Does getting results from what some might call B.S. amount to a good day’s work?

“ E. pluribus unum ” graces the back of the U.S. dollar and is Latin for “out of many, one.”. The phrase captures the original vision of our country, where the differences of the colonies created a greater whole. This concept is also at the core of Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) principles, which took center stage at a recent panel discussion co-hosted by PRSA’s Georgia Chapter and ColorComm , a national business community for women of color in the communications industry.

The filmmakers behind the recently released children’s movie, Peter Rabbit, had a pretty good weekend. The film was number two at the box office, just behind Fifty Shades Freed. Then, as it often does, the other shoe dropped. If you were a kid who begged your parents to take you to the movie, you likely laughed the way through Peter and his pals playing pranks on the annoying human characters in the film.
