Omari Foote

Omari started at Purple as a spring intern and then transitioned to a full-time role as a Creative, Content and Production Coordinator where she assists CCP with the efficient execution of client projects. Before joining Purple, she was a Digital Media Fellow at Washingtonian Magazine, where she acquired skills in website coding, search engine optimization and digital design. At Howard University, Omari participated in communication teams for several campus organizations. She notably co-founded a student-led magazine, which earned her an award for her contributions. Additionally, her articles were featured in publications such as The Hilltop, The Washington Blade and The Seattle Medium.  

“My experience in the newsroom, both as a journalist and a designer, prepared me to thrive under pressure. Learning to optimize my creativity within tight deadlines has equipped me for the fast-paced, driven environment at Purple.”  

“Adaptability is the most critical role I play on any team. When a crisis occurs, it is essential for me to be ready to alter the game plan and adjust as needed. Without this flexibility, my other acquired skills would be ineffective.”

“A quote that I’ve tried to live by since high school when I first heard it is from Maya Angelou: ‘People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.'”
