Uplift: Explores how she created a network of childcare centers in Maryland.
Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Keanna Sanders. 🎯 Purpose of the Interview To highlight Keanna Sanders’ entrepreneurial journey from fashion merchandising to founding Sandbridge Early Learning Center, a network of childcare facilities in Maryland. The interview explores her motivations, challenges, and vision for empowering families and communities through early childhood education. 🧭 Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Early Inspiration & Passion for Children Keanna’s love for children began at age 13, helping her grandmother care for infants and toddlers. Quote: “I was always around children… babysitting cousins, neighbors, and helping my grandmother with single moms’ kids.” 2. Education & Certifications Studied Fashion Merchandising at University of Maryland Eastern Shore and Fashion Institute of Technology. Earned childcare certifications (e.g., 45-hour and 90-hour credentials) to qualify as a teacher in Maryland. Quote: “I went and got my certifications in childcare so I could make a little extra money.” 3. Entrepreneurial Drive Keanna always knew she wanted to be her own boss, even before understanding what entrepreneurship meant. Quote: “I didn’t want to work a 9 to 5. I wanted to travel and make my own schedule.” 4. Serial Entrepreneurship Owned a car dealership called Trendy Motors before launching Sandbridge. Used profits from car sales and a bank loan to fund her childcare business. Quote: “I sold my first car and said, ‘I’m going to start a car business.’ That success helped me launch Sandbridge.” 5. Founding Sandbridge Early Learning Center The name “Sandbridge” combines her last name (Sanders) with the concept of “bridging the gap” between parents and children. Quote: “Sandbridge means bridging the gap between parents and kids.” 6. Curriculum & Learning Philosophy Uses Frog Street Curriculum for infants to age 5. Employs certified public school teachers through grants to prepare children for elementary school. Quote: “We want children to be ready for school. We teach through themes, tummy time, reading, and physical activities.” 7. Family Engagement & Community Impact Hosts family nights, festivals, and educational field trips. Offers financial support, discounts, and free meals to families in need. Quote: “We go above and beyond… sometimes I waive fees or help with scholarship applications.” 8. Franchise Vision & Branding Plans to franchise Sandbridge nationally with consistent branding across locations. Quote: “I want every Sandbridge to look the same—like Chick-fil-A or Walgreens.” 9. Overcoming Bias & Embracing Identity Initially hid her ownership due to fear of bias but later embraced her identity and impact. Quote: “You didn’t work this hard not to be recognized. People deserve to know who you are.” 10. Faith, Risk-Taking & Advice Attributes her success to faith, persistence, and taking risks. Quote: “Out of ten no’s, you’ll get one yes. Be consistent, be persistent, and lean on God.” 📍 Current Status Operates six locations in Maryland: three full sites and three before/after care programs. Serves nearly 400 children. Actively working on franchising the business. #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Making A Difference: A trailblazing media executive at Harper’s Bazaar, Ebony, Honey Magazine, and digital platforms like BET and The Grio.
Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Amy DuBois Barnett. 📝 Summary of the Interview Amy DuBois Barnett, a trailblazing media executive and author, joined Rushion McDonald to discuss her career, her upcoming debut novel If I Ruled the World, and her insights on success, authenticity, and navigating the evolving media landscape. The conversation covered her historic role as the first Black woman to helm a major mainstream U.S. magazine, her experiences in media and publishing, the importance of Black voices, and her journey toward becoming a novelist. 🔑 Key Takeaways 1. Career Milestones & Legacy Amy made history as the first Black woman editor-in-chief of a major mainstream U.S. magazine (Teen People). She held leadership roles at Harper’s Bazaar, Ebony, Honey Magazine, and digital platforms like BET and The Grio. Her editorial style focused on humanizing success, sharing personal stories and lessons rather than just promoting content. 2. New Novel: If I Ruled the World Set in late 1990s/early 2000s New York, the novel follows Nikki, a woman navigating the fashion and music magazine world. Themes include misogyny in hip hop, professional ambition, friendship, and self-discovery. The title is inspired by the Nas and Lauryn Hill song, and Lauryn Hill was the first cover of Honey Magazine under Amy’s leadership. Amy envisions the novel as a TV series, and is actively working toward that goal. 3. Importance of Preorders Preorders are critical for debut novelists to hit bestseller lists. All preorders count toward first-week sales, which are essential for making lists like the New York Times Bestseller. 4. Authenticity & Black Media Amy emphasized the need for authentic Black voices in media, especially in today’s political climate. She praised independent platforms and figures like Roland Martin, Joy Reid, and Don Lemon for maintaining integrity. 5. Success Principles Success requires more than talent—it’s about energy, attitude, collaboration, and kindness. She highlighted the importance of networking through genuine relationships, not just transactional exchanges. Believing in oneself is essential: “The universe will not give you an opportunity that you don’t think you deserve.” 6. Pivoting & Resilience Amy’s career involved multiple pivots—from finance to fashion to media. She stressed the importance of recognizing when to pivot and manifesting goals through vision and hard work. 7. Print vs. Digital Media Print magazines offer permanence and thoughtful journalism, while digital media provides speed and volume. She misses the visual artistry of print, like cover shoots and fashion spreads. 8. Personal Notes Amy’s son is a music producer and DJ, studying at Drexel University. Rushion and Amy have a long-standing friendship dating back to 2012, when she was at Ebony and he was producing the Steve Harvey show. 💬 Notable Quotes “You have to believe that you deserve all of the opportunity.” “Networking is not about handing out business cards. It’s about building relationships.” “Magazines have a permanence that made you incredibly careful.” “I’m manifesting big things.” “We are out here flawed and just trying to find success, love, and fulfillment like everyone else.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
