@ColorCommntwk — oh wow, that sounds so great! Q2. So how and why was C2 created? #colorcommchat – Audrey Magazine (@audreymagazine) June 10, 2015
A2: C2 was created to fill a void in the industry. #ColorCommChat
– ColorComm (@ColorCommntwk) June 10, 2015
A2: We noticed that women of color were gaining very little recognition in the field. #ColorCommChat – ColorComm (@ColorCommntwk) June 10, 2015
A2: We felt that not only did we have to honor these underrepresented women, but their stories needed to be shared. #ColorCommChat

A2. We created a space for women who want lasting relationships and not just return home with business cards #ColorCommChat – ColorComm (@ColorCommntwk) June 10, 2015
