PR GIRL RANT‪!‬ Michelle A. Pascal

In this episode, I rant with ... MYSELF! OK, so it's more like rant AND reflection! I reflect on all of my Season 3 guests and all their  wisdom and experiences they brought to this platform and I rant about the topics we discussed!

Listen in as I share:


What love everyone had in common this season
Why speaking to these individuals was cathartic for me
The importance of connection and asking the important business questions
How I learned to overcome my PR rut
Why it started working by the motto collaboration over competition
Getting paid our worth
Continue to ask questions for clarity

You know you are making moves when someone reaches out to you and asked you to be their mentor.  That is how I met Regan Farley!  When I met her, I could see the fire and I knew she was going to be doing big things in this industry.

Regan Farley has created a blueprint to effectively disrupt the public relations industry by its traditional standards.  Regan worked with companies such as Fox Broadcasting Company, NBCUniversal, Def Jam Records, CBS Television, and more. She’s wrangled talent for red carpet events such as NAACP Image Awards, BET Hip-Hop Awards, and more.  As a digital content strategist, Regan provides strategy content for herself and clients through her company Intel Media Group.  Intel Media Group (IMG) was established to elevate both traditional and new media footprints of individuals, businesses, and brands across the country.  IMG clients have appeared on nationally recognized media platforms shows BET, Black Enterprise, Hot 97, Breakfast Club, VH1, Fast Company, and much more.

Join us as we rant about:


Regan's journey exploring what she didn't want to do which led her to what she DID want to do
How her college experience gave her the first taste of working in public relations
Regan believing she is in the service business
Why she says her medical diagnosis and car accident was a rebirth
How she began getting clients when she was ready to create her own business
Becoming a united front in the PR Industry with her business partner
Traditional vs. new media

Where can you find Regan?

So, let's all be real right now. We've all wanted to be singers at one point in our lives, right? That's also what today's guest Tahajah Samuels wished to be for a very long period in her life. However, things took a turn for the better now that she is a dynamic Publicity and Digital Marketing professional with an entertainment/film focus based in the New York City area.

Join us in this week's conversation with Tahajah as she pursued PR by chance, given that she went into journalism just because she wanted to be in the music industry.

Join us as we rant about:


How Tahajah got to where she is now
The moment PR found her, even though she wasn't looking for it
What led her to digital publicity (which let me tell you folks, is not easy)
Everything she learned in corporate business and all of the professional challenges along the way
What being an entrepreneur means to Tahajah

Join us as we rant about:


Syreta’s first years as pre-med
The time and place she realized she wanted to be in PR
What it was like telling her family

Have you ever made unique contacts by offering them pie? Let's just say that Mocha Ochoa knew her way into people's hearts and did everything in her power to get the job done. From studying law to working at Barnes & Noble to becoming the founder of the Oracle Group, in this episode, we are joined by PR enchanter, Mocha.

Margo “Mocha” Ochoa is the CEO and founder of The Oracle Group and an internationally recognized public relations company, focusing on authors, books, and everything in the literary world.

You know you have a passion for the Public Relations business when you are buying out bars and restaurants to host events JUST to build connections!  That is what Nickie Robinson did! As her own sponsor, she created those connections that she sought and cultivated those relationships in which she still holds to this day!

Nickie Robinson is the founder of GoodGirlPR. She received her B.A. in Economics from New York University and her Juris Doctorate from the University of Denver. Nickie worked in the financial services industry for four years before embarking on a successful public relations career. Nickie’s passion for PR developed long before her legal and financial services career. During college and law school, Nickie organized regional events for Universal Records, the Denver Broncos, the Denver Nuggets, NY Giants, and Kanye West.

Join us as we rant about:


Nickie's belief that all business is give and take
The reason she started her PR company (hint: she needed to pay her mortgage)
How party throwing in college led to her creating GoodGirlPR
Understanding and charging your value
What happened when Nickie put her face on her company
