Thrivin'

Caring is sharing! Did you know that the month of April is officially recognized as National Minority Health Month? Numerous health providers work tirelessly each day to raise awareness about the health disparities that continue to affect racial and ethnic minorities.

Every March we celebrate women making strides, breaking barriers and making history in this country. They are our mothers, daughters, sisters and friends whose contributions to society have made an impact on the lives of many.

Do you have a brand in demand? Business Wire and Black PR Wire will host/present our annual Black History Month Webinar as a part of this year’s Minority Leadership Series. 

Happy New Year from your friends @BlackPRWire!

Father figures have important roles in our lives …
They teach us to be strong and how to survive.
Father figures raise their sons from boys to men …
They protect their daughters until they become warrior women.

In recognition of Father’s Day, Black PR Wire has launched the month long campaign, entitled “Father Figures” whereby we honor and recognize African American men who have  made a profound impact in the lives of hundreds of people on a local, statewide, national and even global level.

They help to shape us, mold us, and nurture us.  They are the backbone of nearly every family, in virtually every area of our lives. As we salute these astonishing people who sacrifice daily in order to provide for us, let’s be mindful to take the time to say “Thank You,” as we hold dearly to their words of wisdom, inspiration and hope.

The theme for National Minority Health Month 2017
is Bridging Health Equity Across Communities. Throughout
April, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’
Office of Minority Health (OMH) joins with their partners in raising awareness about efforts across health, education, justice, housing, transportation and employment sectors to address the factors known as the social determinants of health. They include: environmental, social and economic conditions that impact health.

In recognition of Women’s History Month, Black PR Wire and Women Grow Strong have teamed up to honor and highlight women who have made a profound impact in the lives of hundreds of people on a local, statewide, national and even global level. 

In recognition of Black History Month and in celebration of their continued partnership, Business Wire and Black PR Wire will host a joint webinar on February 21, 2017 at 1 p.m. ET. Topics on the impact and effectiveness of social media in today’s society will be discussed.

As in tradition, a dynamic panel will share insights on how social media has changed the way we receive and share information and how businesses, individuals and movements have benefited from this ever emerging landscape.
