During my Media Relations course at Emerson College, I had the amazing opportunity to organize a full media event in the Boston Common with St. Anthony Shrine. St. Anthony Shrine is a Roman Catholic church and Franciscan shrine located in downtown Boston, Massachusetts, USA. It holds significant religious and cultural importance in the city and serves as a place of worship, reflection, and community engagement.

With the help of my classmates and my Professor, we hosted “Listen to Me! Stories of the Unnoticed,” We collected and shared stories from members of the unhoused, LGBTQ+, and mental health communities. My teammates and I created a proposal to continue “Listen to Me!" In the proposal, you can find a memo, sample press materials, a sample social media calendar, the official website for the event, and the media coverage from the Boston Globe.
