Keeping Up with T.MORRISON


By: T.MORRISON AGENCY Staff

You always have to be on-point when working in public relations because you never know if one of your clients may need you at the last minute to attend an event or red carpet awards show with them, just as our Founder, Tamika Morrison experienced.  Tamika had the pleasure of being invited to The 2nd Annual Legendary Awards presented by Divas Unlimited at The Fabulous Fox Theater.  The event was hosted by retired NBA player, Dominique Wilkins and his dynamic committee.  Two of our clients Dr. Nathaniel Johnson and Mr. Val Archer (Tuskegee Airmen) attended the event side by side with Tamika. Mr. Archer received recognition for his contribution to American History as portrayed in the blockbuster movie, "Red Tails" and was award honorees, Music Producer, Dallas Austin, Football Hall of  Fame Deion Sanders and Media Mogul Mr. Ted Turner

What a beautiful event, which was captured by photographer PaulBiagui Photography!

We received the official footage from The Wendell Show when our client, One Hundred Days (who's also the recipient of a big win from a major online news site!) was on their show last month to talk about the great work they are doing to help restoration in Rwanda. Founder of OHD, Dr. Scott Sasser and Linda Cox shared the stage, engaging college students on the campus of UGA about their Rwandan journey.  Linda Cox says it best, “It warms my heart to want to help someone who wants to help themselves that much.”  When she’s speaking about Rwanda you can see in her eyes the passion she has for the cause.  You can check out the interview below:


This has been a great week for us as we've had several media requesting our clients, especially, Mr. Val Archer, Tuskegee Airmen and "The Relationship Strategist", Kenny Pugh.  

Special thanks to Tekoa Gospel News that features Kenny Pugh on their cover as well as features on The Black Man Can interviewed by Founder, Brandon Frame, and Brotha.com and an appearance on The Wendell Show at the campus of UGA.  Kenny will also be featured relationship speaker at STIR this Saturday, February 18th in Decatur, Georgia at the Porter Sanford Performing Arts Center. As you can see, he's definitely one to watch!

Midweek News and Updates with T.MORRISON AGENCY


By: Portia Rice

I wouldn’t have asked for this New Year to start any different!

Relationship Strategist, Kenny Pugh talking about his book,
"Can You Do It Standing Up" with Wendell Scott of
The Wendell Show in Athens
The Wendell Show was a great experience and opportunity for not one of our clients, but for TWO of our clients!  Relationship Strategist,Kenny Pugh and Black Bride's Mary Chatman had the great opportunity to be guest appearances on The Wendell Show this past Monday, February 6, 2012.  

The experience was phenomenal! Being a single Christian woman here in Atlanta, GA I love hearing the male perspective on relationships with a biblical stand point. Also, Black Bride's President, Mary Chatman had the studio audience excited by giving them a recap of the 2nd annual bridal showcase and gave them great ideas about that special day.  With notes from Kenny and Mary I will be sooo ready for that Man and Wedding Experience! J  These two clients truly are two hits so make sure to tune in to see their interview; dates coming soon so make sure to continue following. 



Well as we all know the celebration of LOVE is around the corner!  Now many singles, such as myself would love for this day just to pass by and because of that Kenny wanted to do something special for the Singles here in Atlanta.   He will be hosting an evening of true entertainment at The Cup CafĂ© filled with excitement, laughter and special drinks sponsored by Godiva Liqueur! On top of that we will be graced by the presence of Comedian C. Davis and The WEDucator - pique your interest? Well, get your tickets now because we are almost sold out! 

Now, rejoicing in the month celebrating African Americans, the “Real” Tuskgee Airmen will be honored on Saturday, February 11th at 2pm co-sponsored by  The Central Library here in Atlanta, GA and T.MORRISON AGENCY.  With the new movie Red Tails released what better way to get their story out then during a month when we are celebrating the accomplishments of African-Americans!  Zellie Rainey Orr, National Historian will lead the panel and will sign her book "Heroes in War" (pictured below being held by Tyler Perry) and will be joined by Tuskegee Airmen, Mr. Val Archer & Black Fighter Pilot, Mr. Ed Lewis. Come out and see the documentary "Double Victory" just released on "The History Channel" and meet their families. Hear from these men about their experiences and get even more than what we learn about in our history classes. I know I will be there with my camera and autographed book!

RED TAILS - A Film About American COURAGEOUS Heroes

Last night I had the privilege of escorting a Tuskegee Airman, Mr. and Mrs. Val Archer to the Atlanta pre-screening of Red Tails in Jonesboro (south of Atlanta).  What an honor for me to be in such a glorious position - I really don't know how I qualified but I am grateful to have been chosen to have met such upstanding citizens - to experience the deep gratitude, respect and humility they exude.
T.MORRISON is "Premier Perfect!"

I was among the most prestigious men and women.  National Historian, Zellie Rainey Orr was the speaker and of whom I have the pleasure of calling a client!  Ms. Orr along with Mr. Archer was featured on CNN with Ms. Fredricka Whitfield in November and Mrs. Whitfield and her husband was in the audience as was many other media notables.  There were several pilots there - in failing health as they are well into their 80's and 90's but still with such strength!  The descendants of Booker T. Washington and Fredrick Douglass were there and talk about jaw-dropping, I was just pinching myself that 'lil ole me' was sitting in the front row with Tuskegee Airmen of whom (not to my knowledge) I have any kinship to.  It was not red carpet glitz and glam, it was truly a time where these men and women had a chance to experience what their obedience in such a time of strife, disregard and disrespect earned them - a Hollywood film! WOW, LOOK AT GOD!

Watching this movie affected me on so many levels - it made me very proud to be an American, to have family that have served this country (My Uncle Joe) and to stand even taller as an African-American, that despite the ridicule and disrespect we had to encounter on a daily basis by our White brethren and sistern, we still had their backs.  What a dedicated people we are! What a strong and courageous human race we are!

My hope is that our children - all of them - can look at this film and stand taller for being human and KNOW that COURAGE has NO COLOR!

It takes COURAGE to be willing to do the right thing when everyone else seems to get away with so many wrongs.  It takes COURAGE to love when the risk of rejection is staring you in the face. It takes COURAGE to move forward to accomplish greatness in the face of so much adversity.  But when you MOVE forward with COURAGE you can accomplish the IMPOSSIBLE and BE THE CHANGE you wish to see.

GRATEFUL! Thank You Atlanta Tuskegee Airmen, Mr. & Mrs. Val Archer for making it possible for me to attend the premier with you! xoxoxoxo!
