About
Overview
Latorria Lemon, an alumna of Clark Atlanta University and the owner of Lemon Light Media, is organizing a special event on campus. She has invited R&B singer Leela James to speak to female students about the importance of hygiene and mental health. In addition, Leela will provide valuable professional and career advice to the attendees.
​
With only 48 hours until the event, there is a pressing need to promote it as widely as possible and to encourage female students on campus to attend and benefit from this unique opportunity.
Planning Process
1. Draft a well-crafted email and/or direct message to be sent to female campus chartered organizations urging them to participate in the upcoming event. Highlight the benefits of attending and emphasize the value of their presence.
​
2. Find a location on campus that is easy to reserve within a short time frame and has enough space to accommodate 20-25 students.
​
3. Design a visually striking flyer with engaging graphics and vibrant colors to capture attention on social media. Craft a compelling caption highlighting the key benefits of attending the event and encouraging female students to join in for an enriching experience.
