In this episode of the podcast, Rebecca shares her thoughts on the state of Linkedin and the saviour complex that is rife on the platform. We’ve invited Kamiqua Pearce, the CEO Coldr, Founder and CEO of the UK Black Comms Network, to talk about professional communities and the importance of networks particularly in the Public Relations and Communications industry. Kamiqua is a visiting lecturer at the University of the Arts London (UAL) and a PRCA Board Director and serves on the PRCA Race and Ethnicity Equity Board.
