Guest Profile

Connie Smith

As the founder of High Five PR, Connie Smith is passionate about supporting small businesses, particularly those with innovative ideas or missions centered around community upliftment. Her entrepreneurial approach is driven by creativity, hope, and a commitment to helping others achieve their goals. Because Connie has such a deep understanding of storytelling, particularly in contexts involving social issues and underrepresented communities, Connie is GIFTED in crafting compelling narratives that resonate with diverse audiences. Her 20 years + experience as a top TV producer and publicist gives her an edge in managing media relations and executing effective PR campaigns. Connie’s lived experience as a foster child, foster parent, and advocate for marginalized voices gives her a profound understanding of the foster care system and the social issues that impact underprivileged communities. She uses this knowledge to uplift others and promote positive change through my work in public relations.
