Q&A
Why did you sign up to be a judge for The Pros Awards 2024?
Given how often our contributions are overlooked in the industry, I feel it is so important to have space to recognise and celebrate people of colour in PR. I’m really proud to be a part of this, and excited to see the work of all of the entrants!
What Insta/Twitter(X)/Tik Tok account should every comms pro follow and why?
expressyourselfblackman – It’s an account which focuses specifically on supporting Black men with mental health and well-being. As someone who has faced his own challenges in the past, I really appreciate it as a reminder of the need for me to look after myself.
What was your favourite PR/comms story from 2023 and why?
The Apple Sustainability Report video featuring Octavia Spencer. It was such a creative way to comms sustainability commitments instead of doing a dry report which everyone always does.
As before we’ve got a great DJ booked for The Pros Awards awards ceremony in July – what’s your dancefloor-filler request?
Candy – Cameo
