LinkedIn family - I have two big projects that I'm currently working on, and I would LOVE your help! 1. I'm in the process of shopping my first non-fiction book to publishers! The book is about how our cultural obsession with defining blackness can hinder us from showing up to life as the most authentic version of ourselves. Do I have any agent friends, or friends in the publishing business, who would be willing to take a look? 2. I have a card game I developed with two of my colleagues that fosters emotional intimate connection through play. Do I have any friends that can help us with fundraising and mass distribution?

Honest communication is necessary to make genuine human connections, and human connection is what ties readers and writers together." - Kiara Imani Williams, Media …see more

I had to share this one. Self-sabotage is real, it's harmful, and it's frequently not a problem that we recognize needs to be addressed. #KellyeMedia #communication #gender #careeradvancement

The media can't give into this easy, lopsided practice of offering one narrative. It may not be possible to remove all bias, but we can at least offer more than one perspective. #media #blogging #writing #KellyeMedia #news #bias #inclusion

More than half of big companies, in more than a dozen industries, monitor employees’ daily movements, actions, and even state of mind. Only about one in three are “very confident” they’re collecting and using workplace data “responsibly.” Yikes. #technology #work …see more

The blurred lines of private companies and censorship emerged when Facebook put out a list of banned notables that they labeled as "extremists". All were white, except for Minster Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam. Some cried foul. Some cheered. Others did not even bat an eye. The overall question is #censorship and free speech, and how much does this regulate our right to speak our opinion. #Facebook has had a lot of issues these past two years, and what they will be in five years will be quite interesting. However, let's take a look at the Facebook. Read full story here: http://ow.ly/VNje50uls1x …see more
