Good morning and happy Monday to you all. I’m back from San Diego from the National Association of Black Journalists 35th Annual Convention where I met tons of journalists, a few other great PR pros, and got to present on a fun panel called “Turning Your Passion into a PR Career.”

There were so many good takeaways, but I’ll leave you with these three. One:If you’re looking for a job in journalism, diversify your skills with business reporting. Two: Business stories are always en vogue. If you’re a journalist, large public relations agencies are always looking for former reporters to bring into the ranks. Three: If you’re looking to turn your passion into a PR career, if you can dream it up, you can do the PR for it. So remember to focus on your true passions and dream BIG.
