August is Black Business Month, and we’re closing it out with someone we’re especially glad to know. Meet Lauren Monroe of Monroe Media House.
After 15+ years at the intersection of media, hospitality, and culture, Lauren launched Monroe Media House to help compelling stories travel farther and become part of larger cultural conversations.
Most recently, her team led PR for Epicenter Week and supported the opening of the $150 million Kaiser Permanente Performance Center, new home of the Portland Thorns and Portland Fire.
