Mastering Inclusive Communications
Effective communication is more than just delivering a message—it’s about ensuring that message resonates with and includes everyone. In a recent interview, Jerrica Thurman, President and CEO of Elation Communications, shared valuable insights on how organizations and individuals can foster inclusive communication practices to create meaningful connections with diverse audiences.
Marching Towards Integrity
March isn’t just about the blooming of spring; it’s also National Ethics Awareness Month. It’s a time dedicated to reflecting on our values, reinforcing ethical behavior, and fostering a culture of integrity in our workplaces and communities. But in today’s increasingly diverse and interconnected world, simply focusing on traditional ethical principles isn’t enough. We need to consider how inclusive communication intertwines with ethical conduct to build truly healthy and just environments.
Honoring Influential Women in Media: Maria Hinojosa
As we celebrate Women’s History Month in 2025, it is crucial to recognize the outstanding contributions made by women who have left an indelible mark on journalism, media, and communication. These women have not only shaped the media landscape but have also paved the way for future generations of storytellers, broadcasters, and journalists. One such pioneer is Maria Hinojosa, a journalist whose work has amplified the voices of marginalized communities and reshaped how we understand issues of race, identity, and social justice.
Find Your Voice
Finding your voice amidst social justice issues is a journey—a journey of self-reflection, learning, listening, and speaking with purpose. It’s about staying authentic to your beliefs while remaining open to growth. Whether you’re just starting or are already deeply involved in advocacy, remember that your voice matters, and it has the power to inspire, educate, and create change.
