Working Through Mom Guilt with Jordyn Palos
Named one of “Hollywood’s New Leaders” by Variety in 2015, Jordyn Palos, founder of Persona PR launched the company in 2010 out of her apartment and has established Persona as one of the most dedicated and hands-on independent PR firms in the entertainment industry today.

She is also a supporter of the American Diabetes Association (as several people in her life are Type 1 Diabetics) and the Bumble Bee Foundation, a local organization that provides relief to families who have children suffering from cancer.
