Meet Michelle Morgan, the Media Buyer Behind Dove's Purpose-Driven Work

Introducing Adweek's 2022 Media All-Stars Rising Star

Michelle Morgan has finally learned to love her hair unconditionally, and she is using her influence to remind other women that the way they want to show up in the workplace is no one’s business but their own. 

“As a Black woman, I’ve struggled with my natural hair, so it was ironic to be put on this account [working on The Crown Act] and really go through this journey myself,” said Morgan, who specializes in paid media campaigns.

Dove is part of The Crown Coalition, a national alliance that advocated for The Crown (Create a Respectful and Open Workplace for Natural Hair) Act, which prohibits discrimination based on hairstyle and texture, to be signed into California law in 2019.
