Additional Information
From March 2023 - March 2024, I got the opportunity to assist my father, Henry Whitehorn, Sr, campaign for Sheriff. My father was running for his first elected position for Sheriff of Caddo Parish in Louisiana. The election gained national attention and my father did win. I was part of several interviews on radio shows, podcasts, social media and television. Also, I got the opportunity to connect and build bridges with so many different people from guys in the streets, blue and white collar workers, celebrities, club owners, business owners and politicians. My passion is public relations. The election enhanced that greatly by providing me another skill set. I have had the opportunity to meet and influence people because of the jobs I have worked. I have sold shoes and apparel. I have worked with inmates during their highs and lows. I have collaborated with artists, music producers, professional athletes, parents, lawyers, judges, politicians, news and social media influencers, law enforcement agencies, college and medical schools and youth programs. I believe that I have a wide range of communication and public relations skills that separate me from the rest. I think outside of the box and I am always looking to make my skills, gifts and talents better so that others are successful, encouraged, motivated and blessed.
