Welcome to The Kickback!
When I started my newsletter in 2022, I had three big goals:
Launch a newsletter that amplifies Black voices and brands.
Host community events.
Start a podcast focused on platforming brands and trailblazers.
I’ve always been fascinated by and curious about business. One of my favorite shows to watch was The Profit on CNBC.
This podcast delivers unfiltered conversations with the visionaries behind today’s most innovative brands. The Kickback With Keri celebrates diverse leaders who prove that success is not a one-size-fits-all journey.
Here’s what you can expect:
You’ll hear from small business owners who decided to bet on themselves.
You’ll hear from creatives and artists learning how to use community to grow their brands.
You’ll hear from changemakers shaking up their industries.
The first season includes eight episodes, featuring interviews with some of the business owners behind brands highlighted in the newsletter. We talk about it all:
Marketing secrets to grow a brand and the impact of AI
How to define success on your terms
What it’s like to be in business with family
The importance of personal branding
Pivoting in business and life
How to mentally take care of yourself as an entrepreneur
And so much more!
My goals with each episode are simple:
Introduce you to a new business or brand that sparks your curiosity and encourages your support (or sharing with others).
Inspire you to take at least one step toward a goal you have.
This is my first time hosting a podcast, so it’s both nerve-wracking and exciting to finally launch. I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who accepted the invitation to have these conversations.
Finishing the first season has been months in the making, and my team and I have learned so much along the way. I can’t wait for you to check out the episodes!
