Our Clients
“Jacqueline Lara is a busy reporter’s dream. She takes the time to know what I write about and pitches me items that are truly relevant to me. She responds to questions quickly, which is a real lifesaver when I’m on deadline. She understands what constitutes news so when I see a press release or information about one of her clients, I pay attention to it since she doesn’t send me inappropriate information. She understands how to work effectively with journalists so that both of our needs are met. If I were looking for a public relations professional, she’s the person I’d want to launch my media campaign.”
National Freelance Journalist, Tamara E. Holmes
“Jacqueline has helped me elevate my business to new heights. She's put me in contact with potential business partners and facilitated my latest feature in Black Enterprise Magazine. She's also given me sound advice on how to improve the business and my personal marketability. I look forward to continuing my work with Jacqueline and Mpact PR!”
Dana Smith, certified Master Life Coach, Experienced-Registered Yoga Teacher, Holistic Health Practitioner and Founder of Spiritual Essence Yoga
“Jacqueline is a top-notch communications pro. “Impressions” are her middle name. If you’re looking for someone to execute a successful media relations campaign…she should be on your speed dial. She gets measurable results and her attention to details is unmatched. She is a solid writer, creative problem solver and an asset to any organization she works with.”
Racine Tucker-Hamilton, Media Relations Manager of Bread for the World
“I am one of Jacqueline's very satisfied clients and am extremely appreciative of her professionalism, ability to take initiative, and very savvy journalism skills. I know there are only amazing things on the horizon for this up-and-coming multicultural PR expert!” I would highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in using the power of media to get exposure for your business or organization.”
Julian B. Kiganda, President and Creative Problem Solver, Vibrant Design Group, LLC
“I knew after our initial meeting that I wanted to work with Jacqueline. Not only did she come highly recommended, but I could tell that she was serious and on her game...just what I needed as I was on a project with a quick turnaround time.
To say that I have had a great experience working with Jacqueline is to put it mildly. Due to her media relations skills, I have had several high profile media appearances. I love the way this woman works! She works the way I do…hard, and she knows her stuff. In the short time that we have worked together I have seen huge results. I have also learned a lot about PR. Another thing I really appreciate about having her on my team is that our values are compatible; honesty, integrity, compassion mixed with ambition but NOT at the cost of all else. I felt inspired by my collaborations with her and look forward to having her on my team when I launch my next big endeavor.”

"Working with Mpact PR has enabled me to share my music with audiences who appreciate conscious hip-hop as a positive art form. Through an existing partnership, Jacqueline facilitated the inclusion of my rap, which was penned and recorded exclusively for the National Urban League’s multimedia exhibit honoring 100 years of service—this helped validate the power of conscious hip-hop on a national stage!”

"Jacqueline worked creatively and consistently to promote my services as a personal finance consultant as well as my book, The Time Value of Life. Within a few weeks of becoming a client, Jacqueline secured placements for me in regional radio and television programs and most recently, ESSENCE Magazine. She is a pleasure to work with and does her best to provide her clients with campaigns customized to meet their personal goals."
Tisa Silver, Personal Finance Expert and Author
“Jacqueline and I collaborated on the Elements of Publicity workshop for Mopwater Social PR in the fall of 2010. I called on Jacqueline because I believe in her media relations expertise and often refer to her as a "pitching beast." The workshop was an absolute success; I absolutely could not have picked a better co-presenter for the workshop. Jacqueline was thorough, gracious and great to work with. I'm looking forward to working with her again!”
Amanda Miller Littlejohn, Founder and CEO, Mopwater PR
