Meet Inez Yeargan Kaiser
At KQ, we're proud to be one of the largest Black woman-owned strategic communication firms in the Southeast, which makes us reflect on people who paved the way many years ago.
With an educator background, Ms. Kaiser decided to go into PR, a field she had never heard of, at the suggestion of an editor at an African-American newspaper in 1957. That was the start of Inez Kaiser and Associates, Inc., the first PR firm in the U.S. headed by an African-American woman. Not only did she open the first African-American-owned business in Kansas City, but she was also the first African-American to join PRSA.
