On this latest episode of PR Yourself, we welcome back resident PR Yourself publicist guru Chandra Gore, to discuss the latest developments surrounding the public outrage against Philadelphia's Sesame Place. What should be deemed on of the happiest places on Earth for kiddos around the world, is now being coined racist, after videos have surfaced showing Sesame Place character Rosita deliberately dismissing Black children, while hugging and embracing other non-Black children. Celebrities such as Joy Reid and Kelly Rowland have now entered the chat, and the Black community will not stop until justice is done. Join us as we discuss the PR response from Sesame Place, what we predict will happen next and why this incident has topped our PR Piss Off of the Week!

On this latest episode we attack a PR Piss-off of the week. Lately it seems as though EVERYONE has gone mad and are taking all of their business and entrepreneurial issues to the Court of Public Opinion - i.e. Instagram and Social Media, versus handling it in private.

Leah brings on creative law attorney Sammetria Goodson of Goodson Law to discuss the legal ramifications of posting EVERYTHING online -- the good, the bad and the ugly.

In this episode, right at the closing of May's Mental Health Awareness Month, we tap the shoulder of highly-acclaimed 'Black Joy' author Tracey Michae'l Lewis-Giggetts. In an inspiring story, Tracey discusses how she "PR'd" a simple guest essay on Black Joy for the Washington Post, into a globally renowned best-selling title -- from one of the top publishers in the world.

In discussing 'Black Joy' and how to find joy during traumatic or discouraging times -- Tracey's candid depiction and characterization of how the Black community accesses joy as its own form of resistance -- is always prime for discussion. Later on, Tracey and Leah dive deeper into the simple concept of utilizing the breath (or deep breathing) as a variation of joy. Known for its healing properties, the concept of breath work is widely accessed during meditation, yoga, mindfulness and many other global modalities as a tool to battling many of the causes of mental health disturbances or mental distress.
