Quote by Robin Wall Kimmerer

“Libraries are models of gift economies, providing free access not only to books but also music, tools, seeds, and more. We don't each have to own everything. The books at the library belong to everyone, serving the public with free books. Take the books, enjoy them, bring them back so someone else can enjoy them, with literary abundance for all. And all you need is a library card, which is a kind of agreement to respect and take care of the common good.”

“The goal of diversity shouldn't instigate divisive activity. Beauty brand communications shouldn't angle to create perceptive complexity, rhetorical and associative programming touts beauty as skin deep (all skin inclusive) keep it simple. It seems as though the advertising trend for marketers this 2017 year, is to risk the social media lightning rodded scorn of public outrage. As a virtual publicist, it seems like I am speaking more about the necessity of crisis communication planning, more than standard communication for brands as a matter of good business operations & reputation management.”
