Wow! @PRWeekUS just announced that my article, “5 ways to avoid Toyota’s anti-LGBTQ U-turn and embrace equality,” was among the outlet’s most-read crisis stories of 2024:
prweek.com
PRWeek readers were glued to articles about the PR “enigma” behind Taylor Swift and how Toyota’s discontinued sponsorship of LGBTQ programs and other DEI activities presented opportunity for brands.

In @adage, I explain that brands that have scaled down #DEI are likely to lose billions of dollars in sales. I cite data from @HRC and I highlight @RepRobertGarcia's leadership in urging Fortune 1000 CEOs to affirm their commitment to workplace equality

I'm humbled to join the Just Ask Podcast from The Walker Institute of @WeberStateU. The episode, Supporting Safe Spaces, is ever-timely with October's #LGBTQHistoryMonth. Supporting youth and prioritizing their well-being must always be a priority. #DEI

Thank you, @CampaignLiveUS , for amplifying my advocacy and helping me spread my message. Companies can’t afford to alienate #LGBTQ consumers. Corporations must do the right thing and embrace the #business, and moral, case for inclusion. #Toyota
