We are so excited to share that Employ Prince Geor

We are so excited to share that Employ Prince George's The Workforce Wire Podcast Special Series entitled "Walking In My Shoes" recently won a 2020 Hermes Creative Awards Gold Award and a 2021 AVA Digital Awards Gold Award!

2020 was a whirlwind year for messengers and communicators. In the midst of a pandemic, our team never stopped working to diligently share the news and stories that matter, with those who needed to hear it the most. The “Walking in My Shoes” series featured returning citizens who have successfully transitioned from incarceration and identify, in their words, why they were successful, why many are not successful, and what can be done to decrease the recidivism rates of returning citizens. We are so honored to have been able to capture and tell these stories of such amazingly talented individuals. We would like to give a special thanks and congratulations as well to our featured speakers, who for without them, these awards would not have been possible: Qiana Johnson ( Life After Release), Joseph Tolbert ( BTDT Clothing), Councilmember At-Large Calvin Hawkins, Marcus Bullock, and Huwe Burton.

We would also like to give a shoutout to the team who made this possible: EPG's Community Development team, under the leadership of Director Jamie Gunnell, team members Angelica Brown and Arian Tyler, our producer Doug Foresta and the talented team over at Workforce180, and last but not least, our charismatic and motivated host, EPG President & CEO, Walter Simmons!

Lastly, we would like to thank our dedicated listeners who tuned in every Workforce Wire Wednesday. You helped to make this award recognition possible.

These exciting announcements are appearing on websites and publications across the country! Read more about the awards by visiting: https://hermesawards.com/ and https://enter.avaawards.com/winners/.

Thank you to everyone who supports Employ Prince George's and our endeavors. Cheers to more success in 2021! #WeAreEPG
