“The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.” - Dalai Lama … National LGBTQ+ Bar Association’s #LavenderLaw conference ’24 + Legal Marketing Association ’25 international board slate #lmamkt #lma24

I had a remarkable couple of days in our nation’s capital, visiting our Clark Hill Washington D.C. office and presenting at the National LGBTQ+ Bar Association’s LavenderLaw conference on client value and personal/professional branding. Caught up with some old friends and made some new ones. Grateful for this profession and industry and firm, celebrating our diversity, encouraging our voices, and…

MASTERLIST: FCs Trans

Como prometido, aqui vai uma masterlist com fcs de diferentes identidade de gênero e etnicidades. Todos eles tem pelo menos um gif hunt, que você encontrará no link em seus respectivos nomes. Lembrem-se de respeitar suas identidades de gêneros e pronomes!

E apesar dos NBs terem diferentes identidades, resolvi deixar todos como NB mesmo porquê se for só para usar um fc que tenha a exata identidade que você quer, aí fica muito difícil. Mas fazendo um NB com outro NB já tá muito ótimo.

Também deixo aqui o @transfaceclaims para quem quiser ainda mais opções.

Bom RP!

I just found out walmart is selling my book, "The Fire In Her Eyes" by Ashley Stenger ❤ And I saw an ad looking for authors to do a book signing. Im starting to feel like this is a sign. ❎❎❎WARNING❎❎❎ The book is not about makeup. It is the real ugly truth about bipolar disorder. #bipolar. #bipolardisorder #books #bipolarbook #manicdepression #depression #suicideprevention #itgetsbetter #followmeplease (at Raleigh, North Carolina)

Pride … a deeper love. “They are merely shining a light on how much work we have yet to do.”

We live in interesting, sometimes exhilarating, often sad times. You might ask yourself why I am sharing this image. There is a point here. And it’s not to garner sympathy. You might also ask yourself why do I put myself through this? I’ve developed a pretty thick skin the last couple of years, and I’m quite proud of that honestly. But I sometimes hear – and recently did – that we’ve come so…

#LMA23 September message: “camaraderie, education, mentorship, strategic thinking and a healthy dose of glitter!”

Y’all have heard enough from me this year! I’m a menace on social media, I know. So, this month I asked a cohort of LMA leaders and friends to answer this question: “What LMA accomplishment/experience has meant the most to you this year so far?”  Here are the responses — I hope you smile as much as I did while reading these.  This is a remarkable community and that’s because of YOU!  (And, yes,…

One of the great joys of my professional career - and definitely of my Legal Marketing Association presidency - has been working with these #superheroes to plan this year's #LMA23 annual conference. Such remarkable, brilliant, kind, fun, happy souls - truly a gift to this industry. H/T to 2021 Prez Kelly MacKinnon, from whom I stole this recognition idea ... and in fact who has provided so much mentoring for me. I've stolen ALL her ideas! She's a beautiful human - so generous and kind.

Thank you to the 2023 Annual Conference Advisory Committee, depicted here as the marvels they all are (starting top left and across): Ruth Morayniss, Gail Lamarche, Jon Brewer, Mike Mellor, Arthur Uratani, Joseph Edmonds, Tahisha Fugate, MBA [she/her], Jennifer Dezso, me!, Megan McKeon, Lee Watts, Amber Bollman. I love you all dearly.

And none of this could have happened without the guidance and support of our HQ team: Danielle Gorash Holland, Holly Amatangelo, Kaitlin Heininger, Ashley Stenger, Jennifer Weigand, Ellie Hurley, Lisa M. Kamen, CAE, Kelly Bache Shatzer, CPA, Sarah Logan, Meredith Halperin, Sydney Janecke, Kristin Frankiewicz, Eric Himsel, and more my senior brain is likely forgetting to tag. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

Episode description: On this episode of CMO Series REPRESENTS, Yasmin Zand is lucky enough to sit down with Roy Sexton, Director of Marketing at Clark Hill Law and 2023 Legal Marketing Association - LMA International President, to discuss his journey both inside and outside of the legal marketing industry.

Roy shares how his formative experiences as a gay man have impacted his approach to leadership and why finding safe and inclusive communities that allow him to be his authentic self has become so central in his career.

The conversation delves into Roy’s childhood, passions, and why his headline performance at the 2023 LMA Annual Conference in Florida was so poignant in support of the #LGBTQ+ community in that moment.

#AMPLIFY … “to make larger or greater (as in amount, importance, or intensity) : increase." #LMA23 is mere days away. This event is a year-in-the-making, and I'm in awe of all the heart, ingenuity, and hard work that has gone into this conference. We will have over 1,000 members of our community in attendance, over 30 sessions, over 115 presenters, nearly 100 service provider sponsors, over 200 pre-conference attendees ... and a whole LOT of love. For so many of us, this annual gathering recharges our batteries and provides us inspiration to bring that energy back to our day jobs in new and innovative ways. And, yes, there is still time to join us! Register here: https://lma23.legalmarketing.org/
