    Hey, thanks for stopping by! 👋 I’m Kent B. and I’ve been doing PR & content writing for a decade focusing on mission-driven organizations. How did I get to this point in my career? I thank my fourth-grade teacher for that. One of my core memories was when Mrs. Ton told me how much she loved my writing. She even had me read in front of the class a short story I wrote. Sure, my face turned red from embarrassment. But deep down inside, I was jumping for joy. From that point on, I knew writing had to be at the center of my future career — and that’s exactly what I did. I've turned my love for storytelling into a career that lets me craft compelling narratives for purpose-driven organizations. Highlights include: ▪️ Working with San Francisco reporters to tell them that if children living in the city got the COVID-19 vaccine, they could enter a drawing for four years of tuition at a local university. ▪️ Promoting a clinic that helps transgender and nonbinary people safely find a voice that matches their gender expression. ▪️ Elevating an initiative focused on building leaders who understand the inequities of climate change and can work toward removing them. If you have stories like these, I’d love to help you tell them to the world. Feel free to reach out!
