YWCA Racial Justice Breakfast

The YWCA Racial Justice Breakfast is an annual event dedicated to addressing and promoting racial equity and justice in our community. As a Communications Specialist intern, I formulated and executed a comprehensive social media content strategy, featuring interviews that I conducted with esteemed honorees Judge Janaya Trotter Bratton and Alandes Powell. These interviews were expertly recorded and edited by Game Day Communications.

She discusses her journey from the world of banking to becoming a dedicated social justice advocate. Alandes delves into the topics of “Black Art Speaks” and the significance of Cincinnati’s Black Lives Matter mural within the community.
