Media Relations Veteran, Leyla Turkkan, offers pro bono services to organizations and celebrities seeking a solution to combat the state of emergency that American religious intolerance has created.
Leyla Turkkan is a twenty-year media relations veteran and CEO of the Catalyst Group. She hopes to build bridges between people of all denominations and she is offering pro bono consultation to organizations working towards a solution to the problem.
“As a first-generation Turkish-American Muslim,” said Turkkan, “I am saddened by the rhetoric that has taken over the national dialogue about religion since 9/11.”
“The media does not provide the correct representation of over a billion peace-loving Muslims in the world. Therefore, I intend on providing a more accurate portrayal of not only American Muslims, but all Americans who wish to preserve our identity as an inclusive society.”
Turkkan is a marketing and media strategist. Although she is still relatively young, she has worked with and represented a wide variety of influential, politically inclined figures and organizations.
These include, Nobel Prize winner and UNESCO Good Will Ambassador Rigoberta Menchu, Russell Simmons, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne and Bruce Springsteen’s Christic Institute Benefit (Karen Silkwood defense team), Public Enemy’s Chuck D, music industry progressive and author Danny Goldberg, and the New York Civil Liberties Union.
The Catalyst Group was founded by Turkkan in January 2007. It is described as a “boutique PR, marketing and management firm for music artists and brands.”
Leyla Turkkan says it is critically important to combat the state of emergency that American religious intolerance has created.
“I believe it is imperative we preserve the rich tradition of diversity and religious freedom that has always defined America.”
