A communications strategy company.
So, that person's refusal to concede the election has me thinking about leadership. Mine, the leaders I've encountered in the past, and those I've been privileged to work with recently. Self-reflection is really something. I think it's a mark of maturity — especially when you can do it calmly, with an eye on improvement. Not, say, to …

I was talking to my friend Kate today about my blog topic for the week. Nothing political, we both agreed, and we settled on entertainment. There’s a lot going on — some of it good! Hello, Georgia. We see you, girl — and despite our mutual distaste for some facets of politics these days, we’re …
Trolls are still a thing. Like, a serious thing! It’s so weird, right? It feels kind of pathetic to lash out at strangers online. Or is it just me? I mean, we can see that it’s almost certainly a waste of time. I suppose I should qualify that we. I mean as the more reasonable …

I’m helping put together a diversity-themed event for a client, and an interesting question came up that I want to share with you: Can you have too much diversity?

My sister and her friend got me a bike for my birthday, and I’ve been riding it almost every day. It feels wonderful to move fast, propelling myself forward, a cooling wind in my hair — even though I’ve probably eaten quite a few bugs. But I’ve seen a man recently, built, strong, walking along …
I tweeted out an article today discussing the discrepancies between white and black voters mail in ballots being rejected in North Carolina. Mind you, I wasn't in the least surprised to hear that this is going on. But it got me thinking. The election is right around the corner. Things are starting to heat up as …

I love movies. Adore them. One of the saddest things for me about COVID — among the unnecessary luxuries that have become its casualties — is the fact that I can no longer visit the theater comfortably. I mean, I could. But I’m not going to. My love for cinema does not outweigh my COVID …
The world found out that Chadwick Boseman died last Friday evening. I was in a funk that day. A real, deep, funky funk. I didn’t even blog last week, which is very unusual for me. But I literally had nothing good to say. I was without wit, humor, disgust, irritation. There was nothing. My objectivity …
