We've been waiting a while to get founder, book publicity expert, and sponsor Fauzia Burke on The Backpack Show! Kerry first met Fauzia when her book, "Online Marketing for Busy Authors: A Step-by-Step Guide" came out. She just loved Fauzia's smart, straightforward style and entrepreneurial spirit. Fauzia launched her book publicity firm, F.S.B. Associates, more than 25 years ago. https://fsbassociates.com/

Her goal: to help authors take advantage of digital channels at a time when other PR firms were still like “what’s the Internet?” We’ll talk with Fauzia about striking out on her own and growing a successful business in a crowded industry.

We’ll also meet social media manager and professor Jamila Walker, co-founder of #BHESM. We’ll talk with Jamila about bringing lessons from the Black Lives Matter movement to higher education. https://twitter.com/iamjamilawalker
