Detroit, Michigan, United States, March 27, 2025 -- (Zeest Media) - Esther Dillard, a proud graduate of the Speak Sell Shine program by media strategist Dr. Pam Perry, has been honored with a coveted Gracie Award for her powerful news feature with the Black Information Network (iHeartMedia). 

The Gracies, presented by the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation, celebrate exemplary programming created by, for, and about women in all facets of media and entertainment — and this year marks its historic 50th anniversary.

Esther’s award-winning feature exemplifies the kind of thoughtful, community-centered journalism that uplifts and informs — and it’s only the beginning of her rising media influence. This is her second Gracie award. 

“This win is bigger than a trophy,” said Dr. Pam Perry, founder of PamPerryPR.com and the visionary behind Speak Sell Shine. “It’s a platform. It’s credibility. It’s a green light for more media, more stages, and yes — higher fees. 

Esther is proof that when you’re trained, polished, and positioned, you don’t chase the spotlight — the spotlight finds you.” Esther Dillard’s journey is one of elevation. After completing Speak Sell Shine, she refined her brand, crafted a compelling media message, and stepped into the arena with clarity and confidence. 

Now, as a two-time Gracie Award recipient, she joins a powerhouse network of changemakers and journalists who are reshaping the media landscape. As part of her next chapter, Dillard is set to expand her voice through more speaking engagements, thought-leadership platforms, and editorial opportunities. Her mission? To amplify underrepresented voices and tell the stories that matter most.
