My latest Memphis Daily News column is out, “Standing Out in The Crowd.” In it, I discuss how you can stand out from your peers in your job search and professionally.
Last weekend, I had the pleasure of participating in a panel as part of the Memphis Urban League Young Professional’s 2014 Empowerment Conference. We spoke on the topic of “Stand Out in the Crowd.”
This was my first time to attend the Empowerment Conference and I was impressed at the level of organization and detail put in by a volunteer staff. Many attendees used the hashtag #Unite2Lead when posting online, and that seemed to be just what the conference was all about. Led by MULYP President Cynthia Daniels, it brought together over 200 young professionals in the Memphis area, along with out of town guests coming as far as Washington, D.C., New York, and Los Angeles.
My panel – moderated by Austin Baker and also featuring Cedric Brooks, Latosha Dexter, and Adrian Davis – touched on everything from how to dress for an interview to how to deal with office politics to knowing when to move on from a bad job.
To learn about the main theme from our panel and how you can stand out in the crowd, read my entire Memphis Daily News column here.

As you may know, last year, my hometown in Oklahoma was hit by a F5 tornado. As a result, I partnered with The Westin Memphis Beale Street and RedRover Sales and Marketing. Together, we threw a fundraiser that raised over $34,000 for my hometown’s Moore Public Schools Tornado Relief Fund.
Last week, The Westin won an award for community service as a result of their giving. Below is an excerpt from the Memphis Daily News article. To read the entire article, click here.
When an F-5 tornado tore through Angela Copeland’s hometown of Moore, Okla., last year, she initially felt helpless.
Though the tornado had just missed her parents’ house, their neighborhood was hit hard. And every time Copeland went on Facebook there were friends from home posting pictures of the devastation that had come into their lives at 200 miles per hour.
The Moore Public Schools were especially hard hit, with 20 of the 35 properties sustaining damage. Copeland couldn’t even go home to her parents’ house because the National Guard had cordoned off the area to protect against looting.
Copeland, a career counselor who writes a column for The Daily News, decided she would try to do a fundraiser here in Memphis on her own. But then the Westin Memphis Beale Street and RedRover Co. got involved.
What began as a small idea for a barbecue turned into a significant fundraiser that raised more than $34,000 – all of the money going directly to Moore Public Schools Tornado Relief Fund.
