Our work with the Greater High Point Food Alliance to develop the Greater Guilford Food Finder mobile application has been incredibly fulfilling. Helping bring GHPFA's vision to life has not only been fun but also a cornerstone of connecting our team with our community while addressing food insecurity. Together, we've helped move High Point from being ranked number one in food hardship to fourteenth—a powerful testament to the impact of community and collaboration.

Meet Barbara Gardener Proctor! Back in 1969, she was assigned a project that was offensive to the current social justice marches in order to sell hair care products. She refused and was ultimately fired. Within a year, she started the Proctor & Gardener agency. She vowed never to create ads for a product that could harm any person of color and women. Her story inspires all and reminds us to stay true to our morals and principles.

Happy Women's History Month! We wanted to highlight women who have impacted the marketing/tech world.

Martin Luther King Jr. would have been 94 years old yesterday. He was assassinated in 1968 at the age of 39.

We took a moment to look back at the last 55 years to ask ourselves, "would MLK be proud of the state of civil rights today & what legacy can we leave to further equity & justice?"

Our answer: we will choose to speak up for injustices we see while challenging those in our influential circle to think bigger to think differently. By continuing to do the same things, we will see only the same results & our dream is a systemic change for the future.

What is your ?
