It feels good to be back!

Hello everyone and hello 2024!

This year we are focusing on how to bring out your uniqueness in the profession. I know we do that already, but it is nice to say it again!

Today we are speaking with someone who knows you all fairly well,but maybe you did not know about them.

Jenny Frenkel (she/her) is the founder of Intuitive PR, public relations firm (I am luck to have her as a publicist), and she is the Brand Manager of Anova Furnishings

We are discussing how this unconventional collaboration has helped us and we are hoping it can help you!

Please enjoy this very nerdy conversation between friends and business collaborators about finding out voices within Landscape Architecture.

Please join me in speaking with Kimberly Young and Bronlynn Thurman, the creators of Black Women Explore a community in Akron, Ohio promoting women and femme-identifying people of color to enjoy outdoor spaces together.
