Episode 9: From Artistry to Advocacy with Brandalyn Fulton Williams

👉 Subscribe now and join us as we Communicate. Inspire. Lead. Not many people can say they’ve worked behind the scenes on Broadway, shaped stories in classrooms and communities, and now drive strategy inside a Mayor’s office, but that’s exactly the kind of career Brandalyn Fulton Williams has built. In this episode of Amplify PR, hosts Gina and Fanny sit down with Brandalyn, a graduate student in the Strategic Communication and Public Relations program at Sacred Heart University and the Director of Policy and Strategy for the City of Norwalk’s Office of the Mayor. Brandalyn walks us through a career that spans artistry, advocacy, education, nonprofit leadership, and civic strategy. She opens about what her time in Broadway and television makeup artistry taught her about understanding audiences and telling stories without words, how working in news media, marketing, customer relations, and community advocacy sharpened her communication skills, and what inspired her to return to graduate school at this stage in her career. She also gets into the heart of her advocacy work, particularly in parent leadership and special education, and how that experience demanded clarity, courage, and emotional intelligence in every conversation. Now, as Director of Policy and Strategy in the Mayor’s office, she shares what it really looks like to translate complex policy into language people can trust, and how her creative and advocacy backgrounds shape the way she shows up as a public-facing communicator and leader. 🎵 Music Attribution Title & Artist: Code Switch by Punch Deck Source Link:   / punch-deck   Promoted by: https://www.chosic.com/download-audio...
