Washington, DC – The National African American Insurance Association (NAAIA) announced today the appointment of D’Jenique “Deej” Inge as its Senior Manager, Marketing Communications.
With a passion for community empowerment, Inge is the Founder and Creative Director of *MANIFEST, a platform dedicated to providing a safe space for those often misunderstood by society. Since 2019, Inge and his organization have tirelessly worked to bridge the gap between the community and philanthropy, as showcased by their annual Feed The Streets Thanksgiving Drive.

Previously, Inge held roles as a senior business development representative, social media manager, and political field organizer. Inge is poised to bring his creativity, expertise, and commitment to excellence to NAAIA.
As the Senior Manager, Marketing Communications, Inge will play a pivotal role in directing NAAIA's voice, look and feel to our members and the insurance public, managing social media, brand development, and marketing asset creation. Inge will also derive insights from membership data to better inform NAAIA’s work and will support national and regional programs through dedicated campaigns.

With a distinguished background in leadership and service, including her role as former president of the Dallas CPCU Chapter and member of the CPCU Society Leadership Council, Walton is the Agency Principal of Lovejoy Risk Management Corp, which provides risk management and commercial insurance solutions for trucking and transportation professionals.
In this role, Walton will assume responsibility for planning and executing NAAIA’s agent roundtable series and pre-conference agent engagement summit, and further NAAIA’s value proposition and offerings to the Black agent community.
