The gender wage gap has widened for the first time in two decades. Companies need to act now to close it. As we know, addressing pay equity drives better business outcomes, but here's a reminder of the benefits of not losing momentum to closing this gap: ? ???????????????? ??????????????????: Fair pay equals satisfied and committed employees. ? ????????????????????: Closing the gap builds trust, encouraging diverse voices to contribute ideas that drive real change. ? ????????????????????: Public relations campaigns amplify your commitment to equity, helping your brand connect with audiences who prioritize fair treatment. We help businesses communicate their DEI initiatives and support efforts to close the gender pay gap, and we use strategic storytelling to highlight their impact.

Being recognized for hard work is always meaningful (cause goodness, the struggle is real)! But being recognized while challenging the norms and leading with purpose means everything.? As a finalist for The Stevie? Awards in the Best Female Entrepreneur – Business Products –10 or Less Employees category, I remember why I'm on this journey of using communications to address the injustices many of us face every day. I truly thrive on the challenges and even more on the lessons I learn. Grateful for the recognition, but even more excited for the work ahead. #LetsDoThis #BetterTogether #StevieAwards

The Wheels Motel is on track to bring in about $412,000 this year, based on 2024 revenue through August. So far, the couple has paid themselves roughly $115,500. That puts them on track for about $174,000 in annual income. Overall, the motel is expected to turn an $81,000 profit in 2024. And though the workload is heavy and the lifestyle can otherwise be a little slow, Roxanna Harwood has no regrets about the couple’s decision to move. “It took a long time to adjust to the small town life, but I freaking love it here,” she says. “It’s literally like my little oasis.” Find more of their story:?https://cnb.cx/3Cqw6AZ

DEI isn’t a trend. It really isn't; it’s a must-have for building strong, future-ready organizations. Here’s why companies like Meta and IBM are leaning into DEI. Essentially, they know it is smart business: ?????? ????????????: Just like students choosing colleges based on state policies, employees are drawn to companies whose values match theirs. DEI-driven companies are more attractive to diverse talent and lead to a creative and innovative workforce. ???????????????????? ?????? ??????????????: Customers care about brands that stand for something. Clear DEI commitments build trust, showing that a company values more than profit. ?????????????????? ????????????????: Data from McKinsey & Company shows that companies with diverse teams perform better — by up to 35%! Different perspectives mean better solutions, smarter decision-making and stronger growth. ???????????? ??????????????????: A team that mirrors its audience understands its needs. DEI helps companies connect with more people, creating impact. ????????????-????????????????: Companies committed to DEI are more resilient and adaptable. DEI isn’t optional; it’s essential. #BetterTogether https://lnkd.in/eMqPygyM

When tech and AI change #PR, the challenge isn’t the tools; it’s how we use them to tell stories. In my interview with Flying Cat , I shared why staying flexible and listening to audiences builds the strongest foundation, no matter the tech. While tools evolve (AI changes every second!), the need for authentic engagement never does. #AuthenticComms #FlyingCatMarketing #AI

It’s been called by many names: - Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) - Corporate Sustainability - Conscious Capitalism - Triple Bottom Line - Cause Marketing - Social Impact - ESG Yes, there are some differences in terms, but the over arching theme is the same. The possibilities for companies to have social impact are endless. And that’s good for everyone and everything, including, and especially, businesses’ bottom lines. A few big brands have been at this a long time. Patagonia and TOMS are ones you are probably familiar with. In doing research for this article, I learned much to my delight that The Hershey Company was an early trailblazer. (Maybe that's why I like chocolate so much.) But I am and always will be the hype woman of women doing extraordinary work, so this article is dedicated to them. Women like Maria Kalligeros and Patrice Tanaka, who led groundbreaking work with their "Love is Not Abuse" campaign for Liz Claiborne’s —at a time when there was little awareness of domestic violence, let alone a brand that was willing to align itself with the issue. Women who have built their agencies creating and/or communicating social impact programs like: ?? Catharine Montgomery, MBA at Better Together ?? JENNIFER NORENE at Beyond Brand Collective ?? Christen Graham at Giving Strong, Inc. And let's not forget the fierce female founders who are building innovative SaaS companies at the very intersection of creativity, heart, and financial opportunity Female founders like: ?? Meral Griffith at Hello Nova ?? Shanna Greathouse, MBA, PMP at pigybak An EYsponsored study on the societal impact of women-led businesses found that the majority of women entrepreneurs are integrating purpose with financial goals. And interestingly, Harvard Business School research revealed that female founders are more likely to receive funding when their pitches directly reference components of intended social impact. Women are leading the way on building mission into their businesses. Let's follow. A big thank you to Gini Dietrich and Spin Sucks for allowing me the opportunity to publish this article.

Today’s election is about casting a ballot to choose leaders who will influence the policies shaping our lives, including critical issues like AI regulation. As we vote, let’s consider how new legislation, like Colorado’s recent AI law (thanks to reporting by People of Color in Tech), is raising the bar on equity: ? ???????????????? ???? ????: Colorado’s law takes steps to prevent discriminatory outcomes in AI, making sure technology doesn’t leave marginalized communities behind. ? ?????????????????? ????????????????????: With rapid tech growth, policies like this work to guard against bias in areas like hiring, housing, and law enforcement. ? ?????????????? ?? ????????????????: Local changes drive broader impact. Voting today helps elect leaders who value transparency and fairness in tech policy. Make your voice count today, and remind others to do the same.
