The Legitimacy of Public Sector Communication

How long does it take in your state to get a driver's license?

First, let’s define legitimacy in public sector communication. Legitimacy is a judgment placed on the organization by its audiences and examines the norms culture and standards of the organization. This is imposed by its partners and audience. (Canel et al, 2020). With that in mind, I should state that I have never worked in the government or for any local, city, regional, or federal entity. But…

Who is a citizen

I hope you enjoy reading this.

I completed the self-assessment tool from the Anti-Defamation League and I am surprised at the findings. It shows remarkable growth for me, but it shows steadiness in other areas. I have always spoken up about injustice, whether it is happening to me or others, but in areas where implicit biases exist, I have found that I have an internal check system that assesses my language and actions before…

The Impact of Tech

Who Remembers that long phone cord? This will age me but I remember the long phone line and a rotary dial telephone. I hope I am not the only one who remembers dialing the operator or 555 -0000 to get the phone number for a business. I can still hear the automated operator saying” City and State please?” I also remember that hospitals all had phone numbers 555-5500, depending on area codes. How…

Are Content Creators The New Media?

I think you will like this!

We all have become publishers and creators of media. The platforms used to export and show that media; social media platforms owe us a boatload of money. Our likes, shares, and discussions drive users ( eyeballs)…

Why My Doctor Fat-Shamed Me

So, I will begin at the beginning. I am a fifty-six-year-old Black woman of Caribbean descent, Jamaica in particular. My ethnicity is varied and is reflective of the country I was born in. I have lived in Detroit, Michigan for now almost half of my life. I have been going to the same doctor for the last eighteen years. Some time ago I read somewhere that staying with one doctor is better for…

White Coat Syndrome

On a recent visit to my primary care physician, I had noted that I have high blood pressure readings. For some reason, when I am at home, I am relaxed and devoid of symptoms that would indicate the presence of high blood pressure or hypertension. On visits to the doctor’s office, I present with astronomical readings. Only to find out that I have what the Mayo Clinic calls ‘White Coat…

The Myth of Freedom

We are finally getting to the heart of the matter which is gender relations and power structures in myths. I say this with all equanimity that society today is no different from previous societies. Despite headways in technology, and changes in governmental systems (formerly, monarchial power structures prevailed, kings, and queens, with a divine right to rule) having been replaced by the concept…
