Early and Not Late- September ’22 Holidays & Observances

Y’all, August did not waste any time getting out of here! September is a busy month with lots of observances to keep your content calendar busy. But no worries, I’ve listed out the holidays and observances I think might interest many of you from what I know of you being in my audience. 

Remember, not only can you create content for your website and social media with these days, but also you can try pitching yourself to outlets since you know they are approaching. 

For example, World Pharmacist Day is September 25th. If you are a pharmacist, not only can you celebrate the day via your social media, but you can also see if any outlets are interested in doing a roundup of Black pharmacists you should know or reach out and share your journey to becoming a pharmacist. Note: you can also share your journey in your newsletter too so that your audience knows more about you.

Another idea is if any of the monthly observances are near and dear to you, maybe you would like to partner with a non-profit that is focused on the observance.

I’d love to know if you take the time to create content pertaining to any of the days. So if you do, tag me @fancyswagher, and I will also share with my network.
