@UW @komonews R.I.P., a class act.

This Juneteenth, I reflected on the last few years in the advertising industry in an opinion piece for @MediaPost. I’m proud of the work we’ve done @dnaseattle but we all have more work to do for equality.

@DevonWitherspo1 from one Spoon to another, welcome to Seattle!

[Washington Football @UW_Football]

It’s official!

Husky Nation, @KalenDeBoer is the new head coach of Washington football!

[Chris Witherspoon @cwspoon]

One of my old college coaches delivering an inspirational and needed message. Thank you, Coach P!

[Minnesota Vikings @Vikings]

Andre Patterson had the most important message of the day.

And it had nothing to do with football.

@UWAthletics we can do better. We’ve been in line for 55 minutes for a beer. So much for the fan experience!

A PlayStation 5, slaying dragons, and beer. What else do you need? It's all the ingredients for a fun, new product campaign for Dragon's Milk from our team at @dnaseattle.

You can question the methodology, but the issue remains the same; we need more people of color in our industry.

It was great getting the opportunity to speak with @MarcomWeekly about my thoughts around DE&I in our industry, and what we're doing at @dnaseattle.

The headline isn't the story. The story is that @havas dug deep and made the #CommitToChange. Their DEI plan is timegated & specific, making it the most accountable plan of all U.S. holding co's.

@600andRising supports their plan and looks to working with them to advance change.

I for one don’t care whether the president or his congressional enablers put out disingenuous pablum about John Lewis. Pass and sign a voting rights bill. Name it after him. And then we can talk. Actions not empty words. Lewis always led from the front.

[Chris Witherspoon @cwspoon]

Thank you John Lewis. We will honor your memory of “Good Trouble.” Rest In Peace. https://t.co/ScvUD3CUFV

@tlcomm Thanks @tlcomm!
