We're celebrating Women's History Month! We're hosting Elle Perry, digital desk manager at The Daily Memphian and president of the award-winning Memphis Association of Black Journalists. As we honor the stories of history-making women, we'll discuss how you can connect with media to tell your story and reflect on some women who have used media to tell their stories and uplift the community.
Telling your startup story or your founder story is crucial to growing and scaling your business. Understanding how print journalism and digital media organizations help amplify these stories can make or break your media strategy. Join us to discuss how to engage with media to tell your startup story, get the coverage you desire, and rocket your exposure.
This month is Women's History Month! We also highlight the women who have used media to highlight injustice and pushed movements for social and economic justice in their communities.
Elle Perry serves as digital desk manager at The Daily Memphian and was recently elected president of the Memphis Association of Black Journalists. Elle is a two-time graduate of the University of Memphis’ Department of Journalism and Strategic Media. Elle previously served as coordinator of The Teen Appeal and digital producer and social engagement manager of the Memphis Business Journal.
