Show #237 - Essence Souffrant

Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen social media serve as a powerful platform for people and brands to take a stand against systemic racism in support of the Black community. Today, we talk with Digital Marketing Manager Essence Souffrant about her experience as a Black woman living through this moment in history: how she’s balancing work, family, and advocacy, her perspective on the brand messages she’s seeing in the media, and advice for how companies (and the people behind them) can put action behind their words to become true allies.
