On the eve of the 55th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing, NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston commemorated the unsung heroes who helped make humanity’s first steps on the Moon possible. 

To celebrate their enduring legacy, Johnson named one of its central buildings the “Dorothy Vaughan Center in Honor of the Women of Apollo” on July 19, 2024, during a ceremony recognizing the early pioneers who laid the groundwork for the Artemis Generation. 

I contributed to the research including Vivian Ayers Allen's (Phylicia Rashad's and Debbie Allen's mother) history and justification, drafted the center director's remarks, wrote the copy for the building's plaque, and received a Group Special Act Award for the Building 12 Naming Team (August 19, 2024).

Served as press liaison, coordinated and prepared JSC Director Vanessa Wyche for this interview as it was the kickoff for Washington Post’s vertical, The New Space Age and gained amazing traction with around 25K cumulative, organic views across platforms.

The Home Depot opened three new distribution centers to provide a variety of customer delivery options to the South Florida region. The company plans to open two additional Miami distribution centers in 2022. Together, these five facilities are expected to create more than 150 new full- and part-time jobs across the region.

New Distribution Center Creates Over 700 Jobs, Speeds Up Replenishment

The Home Depot opened a new distribution center this week in Locust Grove, Georgia, just outside of Atlanta. So far, the company has hired and trained nearly 550 new associates to staff the new facility, which will support faster replenishment to keep stores throughout the Southeast continuously stocked with the most popular products.
