Our Story

Tenacious. Persistent. Staying the course.

Our History

From humble beginnings in a church basement, it’s been 28 years of plying my trade as the first Black woman-owned firm in the nation’s capital. Committed to public relations with a conscience, we made our mark. 

We’ll meet you where you are, or wherever we need to connect.

It’s time to boldly break the old mold, color outside the lines and create new spaces and wider parameters for working and living my passions. The ROI is flexibility to land where we are needed, when we need to be there.

Our talents and aspirations will have breathing space to stretch and reach. Join us in this enterprise without walls. We will be honored to partner and create new Comms Ventures.

Let’s confer about the future together soon!

Highest Regards, 
Gwen McKinney
