Rolling Out Featured Me For Women's History Month

Nantale Muwonge featured by Rolling Out for Women's History Month

I got to participate in Rolling Out's Women's History Month again this year and
this is my favorite interview to date because it's just real talk. We spoke about purpose. I'm at a point in my life where 100% of my time is occupied with my purpose. When I'm not working on Black Girl PR, I'm doing my spiritual work. It looks like insanity from the outside, but it's what keeps me sane and grounded.

CanvasRebel Interview Where I Speak About My Near Death Experience

Meet Nantale Muwonge CanvasRebel interview

Up until 2020 I used to have moments of existential dread where I just felt like I wasn't doing enough with what I know and what I have. I’ve always volunteered and recycled and done all the things that you're supposed to do to be a good human, but it just kept coming back.
Then I was in a car accident that wrecked my life, but also kind of didn't. It forced me to look deeper at a lot of things. And of course I realized that I wasn't actually doing enough to make the world better.
I mentioned this in my CanvasRebel interview because there's nothing sexy about the way Black Girl PR™ was born. Black Girl PR™ was borne out of fire, it's the fire that fuels me. That's something I think people need to know. Read the interview here.

Guest Articles

Articles that I wrote for some of my favorite Blackity Black platforms and some industry platforms.

LinkedIn: Behind Every Good Marketer Is a Great Mom

I got to write for Linkedin! And it's one of my most favorite things that I've ever written! Learning more about these incredible women, and honoring their beautiful Mothers while honoring mine is just a next level experience for me... And I'm going to savor every single second of it! Check out the article for yourself.

Essence: How To Navigate A Healthcare System That Doesn’t See Your Pain

I almost didn't make it. And I didn't even admit that to myself until a couple of weeks ago! Which is why I wrote "How To Navigate A Healthcare System That Doesn’t See Your Pain" and pitched it to Essence. I need as many Black women as possible who might be going through this while navigating our racist healthcare system to know that there is hope. I'm living proof of that! Read the full article here.

Essence: Signs It May Be Time To Break Up With Your Doctor

My doctors didn't even care that I was daydreaming about smashing my car into walls because of the medication they had me on... At the time I thought it was me, but now I understand how systematic racism and implicit bias in medicine can really mess you up and derail your healing.
That's why I wrote this article for Essence. So if you're struggling with your doctors check it out, or you know anyone who's struggling, send this to them. I need anyone struggling to know that it's not us, it's them! Read the article here.

EMOIR Magazine: The Black Woman's Guide To Informed Consent

The Black Woman's Guide To Informed Consent article in EMOIR Magazine

So a couple of weeks ago I met a Consent Advocate (didn't even know this was a thing!) and she was telling me about an event that she's been putting on for the last 9 years that centers Black women. Their voices, their desires, their rights, and very specifically, it centers Black women's informed consent.

Because we've been robbed of informed consent for generations. We've been forced to work, experimented on and to this day, because we exist in a system that only sees us as objects, we regularly have to deal with people violating our consent.

But anyway, tia was schooling me and we got talking about how to actually assert our rights and boundaries in settings with a messed up power dynamic. And she had such seamless and practical advice that I immediately thought we should create a guide. Check out the guide.

Taji Magazine: Nikki Porcher Believes Black Women Deserve To Tell Their Stories

Nikki Porcher article in Taji Magazine

I got to write about Nikki Porcher and Buy From A Black Woman's docuseries, The Living Examples, which highlights 24 Black women founders. She created the series to give us living examples of Black women in our communities who are thriving against the odds, and also to create a space for us to share our stories.

It's quite a story behind the series (she traveled to 19 cities!) and each episode takes you on a journey through the struggles and triumphs of doing business. Which I found reassuring because entrepreneurship isn't easy, but to know that it's possible to make a real difference because other Black women around us are doing it is incentive to keep pushing.

Check out the latest issue of Taji Magazine (Vol. 35) for the full story.

EMOIR Magazine: A Black Woman's Guide To Recovering From Corporate PTSD

I have so much respect for Sharitta Marshall. She's been through it! Like so many Black women in corporate spaces, she was mistreated to the point that she had to quit. But instead of just walking away and saving herself, she's created an organization that seeks to make these spaces better, so others don't have to suffer through being devalued the way she did.

And on top of that, she also creates resources for Black women who may not have access to her services through their jobs, which is how this guide in EMOIR Magazine came about. You can read the guide here.

PR Daily: Don’t Do PR For Black History Month

We see so many PR campaigns that should never have made it past the discussion phase During Black History Month. Which is why I wrote this article for PR Daily. Black History Month isn't a marketing opportunity, it's an opportunity to dig deeper into how you're actually investing in a more equitable future. And it's very clear who's invested. I go deeper into why in the article, read my full breakdown here.

EMOIR Magazine: Entrepreneurs Share Their Opinion On Juneteenth Becoming A Federal Holiday
