Our Story
Founder Khali Gallman never knew that being the “go to person” for events would turn into an established public relations and marketing career. Serving as a liaison and on-air personality for her high school’s morning television show, Khali quickly learned that she always had her finger on the pulse of everything.
After graduating cum laude from the School of Business and Industry at Florida A&M University, Khali began a career in public relations, marketing, and media. Once she received a MBA from the Darla Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina, she then launched her own company, Epitome., LLC.
With over 18 years’ experience, Khali has worked with many government, nonprofit and for profit entities. Epitome. LLC specializes in small business development and communications.
“Great public relations isn’t about making noise. It’s about creating a story worth hearing, building relationships worth keeping, and making an impact worth remembering. The most powerful stories don’t simply capture attention. They connect people, strengthen communities, and inspire action.”
