~Our Mission
The African-American Public Relations Collective (AAPRC,,) is an assemblage of professionals who provide communication conduits among clients, journalists, media and our communities. We come together as a collective because we recognize the importance of building those same conduits amongst ourselves.
A great deal of what we do is professional development –– updating our skills, keeping pace with technology, refining and streamlining processes, providing a forum to tackle the issues that impact our work environment –– but we believe our professional lives benefit most from the forging of effective alliances. Connected to one another, we possess the power of a nationwide body of committed, knowledgeable practitioners with an eye on the future.
As we move into the 21st century at lightning speed, mass media and its potent messages occupy an ever-larger part of our daily lives and our collective psyche. The AAPRC,, is focused ..ing our members gain a deeper understanding of media's force and supporting their growth as powerful participants in the global communications network.
QUOTES-The AAPRC and Global Communicator
“The AAPRC is an excellent and needed organization and its Global Communicator is one of the finest publications in the PR industry.â€
~Jack O’Dwyer,
Editor-in-Chief
O’Dwyer publications and website
“I read every issue of Global Communicator because of its rich content and in-depth interviews—and I’m constantly amazed at how much work goes into it.â€
~Joan Stewart
The Publicity Hound
“Just like the NAACP, the Urban League and other such organizations were created to form a platform and a community of like-minded thinkers and advocates, it is so vital that Gwendolyn Quinn has brought together African-American publicists and journalists via the AAPRC. It never occurred to me that there were so many of us out here in this industry because I rarely come across another publicist, so it's good to know that we are an expanding breed and this is because of this organization and its newsletter. The newsletter is great too because it sheds light on the history of those of us who work
tirelessly behind the scenes to expose news, products and people -
often with little gratitude from those who benefit most from the
exposure. I'm thankful for AAPRC and I hope that it continues to build, strengthen and lock its arms with media professionals around the globe.â€
~Bill Carpenter

“At every corner of my career in publicity, marketing and development, I have found the AARPC to be a welcomed and valued resource. With integrity and grace, Gwendolyn Quinn and her team have maintained and grown a stellar network where all of us in the field can exchange information. I applaud and thank her for her leadership.â€
~Seitu Jemel Hart
Director, National Urban League
"Who would have thought that a night out for a crew of committed publicists at Shelley's Steakhouse in Manhattan could produce such a spectacular resource for those who were was once a minority in this industry? We have been tremendously blessed by the AAPRC in the many years it has been in existence. The relationships that have been formed are just a mere extension of who we are all called to be. I applaud Gwendolyn for following her heart and passion."
~Rhonda Ridley
President and CEO

"Four years ago this July [2007] will mark the death of my mother. She died as a result of a heart attack without health insurance and was only 46 years old. I emailed Gwendolyn and she sent out an email to the Collective. The overwhelming monetary and condolescence reponses I received were overwhelming. Gwendolyn was a God-send, emailing and calling to check up on me even after the funeral. Another member, Jeanine Cooper-Taylor called me on that day and cried with me. A complete stranger. You can't find a better group of people to be among. Many of the members we only know through email but everyone pulled together for a common cause because another member was in need. I buried my mother in her place of birth with a zero balance for burial and funeral expenses...This is not only a networking tool for our careers, but when tragedy hits anyone of us, we come together. And for that, I will always support and be involved with Gwendolyn and this awesome network, The African-American Public Relations Collective (AAPRC)."

“You really have to admire Gwendolyn's vision. So many people talk about the lack of unity but few sacrifice their money and time to build unity. AAPRC and its subsequent e-newsletter, Global Communicator, are invaluable resources. I really don't know how Gwendolyn has all the time to send out the countless emails. Fostering unity is a 24/7 endeavor and Gwendolyn has never fallen off the job. Not once since AAPRC started have I ever wondered if it was alive and kicking. Gwendolyn even prepares you for its absence by letting you know when she's on vacation. Gwendolyn certainly deserves all the credit for AAPRC's amazing success. She's saved so many so much legwork and helped spread expanded opportunities through partnership. Her efforts should be commended. We should all celebrate AAPRC and Global Communicator because only through unity can we all thrive.â€

“Gwendolyn Quinn is the ultimate "Superwoman" PR professional. She has been invaluable to many PR professionals around the world including myself. It is wonderful to know someone who has built a top level PR business, takes the time and is willing to share information and help those in the same industry grow and communicate. Gwendolyn keeps many of us in the loop on things going on around the country and keeps us all in contact with each other. Despite her busy schedule she "gets it done" for herself and all of us who she has graciously helped and featured over the years. In addition, the AAPRC and Global Communicator are a wonderful resource and publication. So Gwendolyn know that you are truly appreciated even when we are too busy to tell you...May you be blessed with all the success you dream of ...because you deserve it. Thank you for being You!

The AAPRC and the Global Communicator have filled a long-time need/void among African American public relations professionals.
Both valued vehicles are platforms for industry insiders to create community -- and help each other develop collaborations, strategic alliances, networks for future and current projects, and maintain relationships with colleagues. In essence, AAPRC is the resource that helps us access the resources we all possess as communications professionals in the media and entertainment field. Over the years many of us had talked about creating a vehicle to communicate with one another, but Gwendolyn took action and made it happen. I applaud her leadership and foresight. Gwendolyn and her fabulous staff do a great job at keeping myriad practitioners connected, allowing for increased opportunities as well as providing a place to discuss topics and topical items that affect our community."

“The African American Public Relations Collective (AAPRC) is an excellent way to communicate with other African American PR practitioners. The Collective has proven to be a great networking tool that allows us to support each other as well as endeavors. I am thankful for the organization, as well as to Gwendolyn for filling the need for this network. As publicists, we are professionals who are comfortable not being in the spotlight. What I enjoy about the Global Communicator, is that it puts the spotlight on those that have worked hard through the years to build successful careers and paved the way for people like me in the public relations profession. It is also an informal way of networking and building a professional database for future projects. I am always so excited to receive my issue."
