**OUT NOW! MY FIRST PODCAST INTERVIEW**
Link in bio!
A few weeks ago I was invited by none other than the legendary @holmesreport to be a guest on their PR industry podcast #TheEchoChamber to discuss all things African PR landscape, African marketplace trends and diversity and inclusion (or lack of) in the industry.
I say a few rad and controversial things including comments about my experiences as a black Brit in the US PR industry as opposed to being a black American and how that plays out, as well as sharing details about the opportunities and current African PR landscape.
I was really chuffed to be invited to speak on one of the leading PR industry platforms about the work that I do in Africa that often doesn’t even feel like work, I enjoy it THAT much. The same podcast where so many PR industry giants have been previous guests and then to be invited myself was a definite ‘smell the roses’ moment AND a sign that my influence and work in the field continues to be recognized.
Like I said in a previous post...follow your passion & purpose and the world of opportunities opens up for you.
Thank you @arunsudhaman and @holmesreport for the opportunity and platform to talk about Africa, diversity and inclusion.
The link to the interview is in my bio, have a listen and let me know what you think.

Swipe #TBT to last week when I met up with former Oga aka boss turned friend @tonyoelumelu at the @ubagroup New York HQ.
In 2013 I wrote an article for @blackenterprise ‘The Top Ten African Leaders to Follow on Twitter’. I included TOE who, for those who don’t know, is one of Africa’s richest men. A #Nigerian self made billionaire, an economist, entrepreneur & philanthropist.
Fast forward & lots of fun details later, I moved to #Nigeria and spent a stint leading his global PR & Communications for his private investment company @heirsholdings & incredible foundation @tonyelumelufoundation It remains a career highlight to date...like c’mon, leading the global Comms for an #African leader who is at the forefront of the development of the Continent?!?! I felt like I was in a Harvard MBA class each time he held a meeting.
Great catching up with him last week. Congrats @tonyoelumelu on all the exciting things happening for #UBA in the US & across Africa, congrats on your company @transcorpnigeria recently winning your bid for a second power plant and blessings for all the great work w. @tonyelumelufoundation on top of ALL the other great things happening.
To me THIS is what #blackexcellence TRULY looks like.
More to come so stay tuned...

...and it’s a wrap!
Final class @nyuniversity and what a fantastic group of students. First all women and all international group I have taught and they were BRILLIANT! #ProfessorMoore
Teaching #globalpublicrelations #CSR #corporatesocialresponsibility & #globalengagement continues to be awesome albeit tough to fit into my schedule. I run my own boutique global company, I am a writer, international speaker, consultant not to mention my personal life (a girl has to have fun and have lots of it!) ...my schedule is packed. ♀️
When you get a group like this...smart, engaged, enthusiastic, you learn as much from them as they learn from you...makes it all worthwhile.

SWIPE #TBT to when I had cornrows & was living and working in #Lagos #Nigeria & traveled to #Capetown #SouthAfrica to film a commercial for Pan African investment company @heirsholdings Beautiful part of the world, seriously stunning and filming this commercial was great fun. So many on set examples of why it is so important to have diversity behind the scenes in advertising.

The face of a girl who just had a magical week (albeit SUPA stressful workwise but i don’t think that will ever change lol) and is supremely grateful!
The only downside is that I ate a lot of CRAP this week and only went to the gym twice and now feel guilty! #thestruggleisreal Oh well, back at it! #FitFam ♀️
