Hear from Those Who’ve Transformed Their Marketing:
“ Proud Empowerment Business Solutions has been a godsend for the communication department at CenterLink, the association of LGBTQ+ centers. If you have any reason to doubt that bringing in Mandi and their team to do the work with you, partnering with you - DON’T “
Donna Solomon-Carter - CenterLink
“ Mandi and her team are creative, resourceful, and thoughtful. I took away both resources and tools I can use moving forward. Her knowledge of equity and social justice issues meant we were able to focus on immediate needs rather than on background content. “
Dr. Naya Jones - University Professor
LGBTQ+ and Social Justice Focus
“ They understand what we do, what we need, and most importantly deliver it on time and professionally. I highly recommend that if you need social media help, digital marketing help, give Mandi a call! “
Chris Bryan, Persad LGBTQ Center
“Mandi and their team are highly skilled, adaptable, detail-oriented, and take initiative in their work. I recommend them without any reservations!”
Kush Desai - Licensed Therapist
“Mandi and their team exceeded my expectations. I interviewed many Freelancers. I was becoming concerned I would not find someone that would fit my needs and then I found Mandi. A perfect fit. I highly recommend them.”
J. Latz - Licensed Speech Therapist
