About KD Public Relations:

Public Relations / Marketing at Fitness Depot (Ellisville, MS) involves a robust digital strategy to enhance our media relations. Studied at Jones County Junior College; I ran the Religion Column for The Radionian, where I began my first experiments in community engagement through wellness and storytelling services.

As a PR Assistant for Mayor Johnny DuPree in the City of Hattiesburg, I effectively collaborated with The Weather Channel and other media relations outlets to enhance our digital strategy. My journey in photojournalism began when I captured an iconic photo of City Hall that was later featured on the official City Coin in 2015. I hold a B.A. in Journalism, PR, and Mass Communication from the University of Southern Mississippi, where I developed my skills in storytelling services and strategic communications.

As a Social Media Manager for Kim’s Nissan, now Cannon Nissan, and Toyota of Meridian, I developed digital strategies and honed my media relations skills. My role as a Media Planner for Liquid Creative allowed me to gain real-world experience in corporate branding, ad placement, digital campaigns, and effective storytelling services within strategic communications.

Founded KD-PR, LLC during personal and financial hardship, I embarked on a journey into strategic communications. My first major design and editing project was The Right to Arrive by Dr. Ikechukwu Okorie, which showcases my storytelling services. The official transition from side gigs to sole proprietorship and DBA led to the establishment of KD-PR, LLC, where I also offer media relations and publication services.

Publications begin with Natchez Democrat as we enhance our digital strategy through the Live Oak Landscapes website rebranding and design. A CanvasRebel interview is currently in progress, alongside the Natchez Shootout campaign and our rebranding and design efforts for Abundant Life Church. We're excited about the launch of The Hope Desk Reports, which will serve as a blog and media platform focusing on storytelling services and strategic communications. We have registered with SAM.gov, securing UEI JBPMDAADW136 and CAGE Code 12HM7, while activating our federal contracting eligibility. The preparation for the PR Done Right™ Masterclass is underway, alongside the completion of our capability statement. We are also exploring a strategic partnership with Riverbend Waterpark Campus Experience. Notably, KD-PR, LLC has earned recognition as a national peer-led PR agency model, demonstrating our commitment to excellence in media relations. AND, THERE IS MORE TO COME!

The 2025-2026 Fiscal Year Brings a Strategic Vision, Planning, and Implementation unlike anything KD Public Relations has EVER seen.  

The lists of things we have accomplished are not fully exhaustive, as there is so much more that we plan to add, particularly in our focus on digital strategy.  

Stepping away from Public Relations as a core focus to prioritize mental health has taught our Executive Director valuable lessons about the Mission and Vision of what KD Public Relations aims to achieve in this world: Create lasting change through storytelling services while fostering Hope and Creating Growth in a society that has been misled by Propaganda, Yellow Journalism, and Media Slant.  

Her Voice was trapped in trauma for many years, much like a lion caged by fear, imposter syndrome, and low self-worth, despite her many accomplishments.  

Now she rises with a vision unlike anything she has experienced before, and with this clarity, she is building a team that thrives on strategic communications, letting God move her mountains.  

She is finally learning to harness the Voice inside her. Yes, she embodies the spirit of the Lion. Lions do not flee in fear; they stand firm for all they know belongs to them.
