About Us
An advocacy group committed to improving diversity in the public relations and communications industry. The initiative was founded by four Black women in response to public relations agencies publicly sharing words of solidarity in reaction to police brutality protests; however, in practice, Black employees remain underrepresented and marginalized in the industry.
