I’m humbled and honored to be a featured journalist alongside many innovative and courageous women in the media field this month on the International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF’s) Facebook page. It’s just a simple little blurb listing some recent and relevant gigs on my resume! Be sure to flip through the entire page to see the incredible work women in the profession are doing all over the world!

Thank you to my editor-in-chief at The Hudsucker, friend, and fellow featured journalist Tania Hussain for passing the word along about the opportunity!

Check out my bio here, and please check out IWMF on the Web. This feature will be stickied in my Featured page!

Featured Interview for I AM PR Agency Industry Spotlight

I was interviewed for I AM PR Agency‘s Industry Spotlight by one of my former writers at Pink and Black Magazine, Lawanda Johnson. We talked about how I got my start in writing and in entertainment, my blog, interning at Hollywood Life and meeting celebrities, what Audrey Magazine is all about, and a lot more. It was very cool to be on the other side of what I do! Thank you so much Lawanda and I AM PR for featuring me!

Since we live in a digital age, I do think being an active blogger has helped me build my online presence. When I go to networking events and when I meet new people, it’s one of the ways I get people to remember me. Just like in the way there are YouTube stars, I think it’s possible for anyone with a blog—with a focus and is updated regularly—to make a career out of it somehow.

Check out the full interview in I AM PR Agency’s blog. It will also be stickied in my new Featured page!

 

Announcing the Official Karen On Relaunch Date, a New Blog, and New Site Features

New Karen On HeaderHi everyone!

In case you missed it, I announced last week on Karen On that the new version of the website will officially relaunch on January 14, 2013. I have also announced that I will be blogging on what I call a temporary annex blog at dat girl Karen until the new website is ready. On dat girl Karen, you will get a feel of the types of posts I’ll make on the updated version of Karen On, so be sure to check it out and follow along!

On another note, you have probably noticed for a long time that this website has undergone a transformation too! One of the major updates is that I will now be using the blogging function to feature any new articles that have been posted to my portfolio. This way, you can quickly navigate to my latest work (that I feel proud of, of course)! Another new major update is the addition of my Featured page, which lists a bunch of other websites and social media pages that my work (writing, photos, and videos) has been mentioned, quoted, or featured in. To coincide with the relaunch of my blog, I have also changed the Karen On subpage of my portfolio to Entertainment Reviews, Interviews, and News—same content, just a different title.

I thank you all for your support as I make this transition. If you have any feedback regarding any of my three current sites and what you’d like to see on the new blog, I welcome it, so feel free to email me or leave your comments here. Thanks again, and see you here, there, and everywhere!
