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.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Stacey Gholar. 🔹 Summary of the Interview Stacey Gholar, founder of Bloom Creative Agency, shares her journey from being a young mother in Chicago to becoming a brand strategist and creative entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in marketing, media, and business. She emphasizes the importance of aligning personal identity with brand strategy, especially in the digital age. Stacey discusses her approach to brand audits, the role of social media, the impact of AI, and her passion for empowering women through entrepreneurship and skincare. 🔹 Key Takeaways 1. What Is a Brand Strategist? A brand strategist helps individuals and businesses define and articulate their brand clearly. “You are the brand, but you have to put the brand together in a way that people can articulate what you do.” 2.

Digital Branding & AI Stacey identifies as a digital brand specialist, helping Gen X women and others pivot into digital spaces. She uses AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini to enhance productivity but values human connection. “AI is an asset… but I don’t solely rely on it.” 5.

Going Viral vs. Being Valuable “You don’t need to go viral. You just need to be valuable.” She went viral unintentionally with a review of Harold’s Chicken, but stresses the importance of sustainable value over fleeting attention. 7. Brand Refresh & Outreach Most of her clients come through word of mouth, but she’s expanding her reach via social media. She encourages clients to step out of their comfort zones and engage in community-driven initiatives. 8. Skincare Line Stacey founded Skin Light Skincare at age 50 to promote pro-aging and natural beauty. She now focuses on organic body oils that are clean, hydrating, and hormone-safe. 🔹 Notable Quotes “Experience has been the best teacher for me.” “You don’t need to go viral. You just need to be valuable.” “If you stop learning, you stop growing.” “I want you to be a part of building your brand—not just me doing it for you.” “Social media is great, but word of mouth is still real.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
