The Voice Behind Black Girl PR™
I am Nantale Muwonge, American Business Awards® Communications Professional of The Year and one of LinkedIn’s Inspirational Black Women In Marketing. I'm also an award-winning writer and content strategist, an editor, a journalist and the founder of Black Girl PR™.
Black Girl PR™ happened by force. I was pushed!
I was freaked out by Breonna Taylor's murder and how the police were openly killing Black people without impunity, stressed by how hard the Black community was being hit by Covid-19 because of racial disparities, unsettled by the insanity of the lockdown, and struggling with my health after a car accident and being mistreated by racist doctors.
It was a lot going on at the same time, but it forced me to go inwards and really look at my purpose.
Why I started Black Girl PR™
When I settled my soul and thought about how I could contribute to all of this in a meaningful way, I landed on helping Black women entrepreneurs.
Because Black women entrepreneurs invest in their communities. It's an investment that you can't even quantify when you consider the fact that America is where it is because of Black women. Black women raised American children, fed American families, tilled America's soil...and most of that was unpaid!
So I decided I was going to help Black women entrepreneurs boost their visibility, in order to ultimately drive website traffic and sales. Because we need money to advocate for ourselves in this country. Nobody is coming to save us.
And that's how Black Girl PR™ was born.
I'm on a mission to amplify Black women's voices
Through community programs and mentorship I've helped 5,788 Black businesses from Atlanta (USA) to Windhoek (Namibia) boost their online presence and increase their search rankings. And for the core group of clients who’ve been through The Brand Impact Program™, I've helped them reach 7,543,009,686+ people, and increase their website traffic and sales by up to 60%.
They've been featured on major platforms like AfroTech, Black Enterprise, Ebony, Essence, Fox TV, Insider, Rolling Out, Shondaland and Time. And the media attention has helped them get corporate partnerships, wholesale orders and contracts, grants, speaking engagements and awards. But more importantly, it’s helped them claim their rightful place as industry leaders.
Personally, I have been featured by outlets like The Harvard Business Review, Inc. and Black Enterprise, and I occasional write for industry publications like PR Daily. Also LinkedIn called me a Marketing Icon and a Trailblazer! I'm also proud to share that I:
