I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Queen D, aka Davina Brewer of 3 Hats Communications fame, in April in Knoxville at Social Slam. In years past, she was the most prolific of commenters gracing our communities with rambunctious, text-driven jargon the likes of no one else. I was delighted and anticipatory of what her IRL self would be; she did not disappoint. As soon as she walked up the stairs I slammed her with a huge bear hug because I was so delighted to finally see her after all of our banter.
Now, let me assure you, she’s a consummate PR professional; founder of 3 Hats Communication (I’ve tried to inquire about that branding and she’s adamant it’s a true fit for what she delivers although I know it’s got to be like 6 hats.)
I snagged her after lunch and invited a spur-of-the-moment chat with Soulati Media (that’s moi) about small business and social media. Take a look; this woman knows her stuff. Watch for what she says about top-down buy-in; do you agree?

Very spur of the moment, had to think quick on my toes. Wish I had talked a little louder .. and had my hair down. 😉 This was a good idea you had, to interview and talk to attendees about what’s going on with them. Lots of good tidbits from folks. And yes, nice to chat, hang out. Think I mentioned it the other day.. meeting everyone in person, it reinforced my idea that these can be very real, these connections we make online. FWIW.

This was fun, but I was disappointed that Davina wasn’t able to use any of her famous acronyms. 😉 It was nice to have a voice to go with the face/words.

Definitely great to meet Davina in person. Her blogging voice is the same as her conversational voice. She also knows how to pick the best wine/beer with the best name.
