For National Black Business Month, I’m honored to be featured in Tap In Magazine and VoyageLA, Magazinewhere I had the opportunity to share the story behind my journey as a publicist, entrepreneur, storyteller, and the host of ny new podcast, CALL ME WYLLISA..

For more than two decades, I’ve built a career around one simple belief: great stories deserve to be told—and the right people deserve to be seen. From working with entertainers and filmmakers to authors, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and changemakers, my career has been rooted in creating visibility, building brands, and helping people turn their stories into opportunities.

In the articles, I opened up about my path to Los Angeles, the early experiences that shaped my career, launching my public relations business and the evolution of an industry that has changed dramatically since I first stepped onto a red carpet in 2003.

I also talked about what it means to celebrate 25 years in the entertainment industry, the lessons I’ve learned along the way, and why storytelling remains at the heart of everything I do.

The conversations also provided a glimpse into a new chapter—that is, CALL ME WYLLISA, my conversation-driven show where I sit down with folks to talk about the person behind the public persona.

Being featured in Tap In Magazine and VoyageLA Magazine are more than a press mentions for me. It’s an opportunity to pause, reflect, and appreciate the journey—from a North Carolina native who moved to Los Angeles with a dream to a publicist who has spent years helping others make their dreams visible.

I’ve spent 25 years telling other people’s stories. This time, I got to tell mine.

Thank you to Tap In Magazine and VoyageLA for taking the time to share my story and for recognizing the journey behind the brand.
