Sheletta Brundidge Can Do It All

ShelettaMakesMeLaugh.com started as an idea from Emmy award-winning comedian and radio host Sheletta Brundidge.

Aware of the serious lack of diversity in traditional media and frustrated by her own inability to find a seat at the table, she decided to build her own. In 2020, Sheletta created ShelettaMakesMeLaugh, a multi-media online platform with weekly podcasts.

Sheletta and her team produce podcasts, initiate one-of-a-kind marketing campaigns, create audio/video/digital content, and build partnerships.

And, oh yeah—she’ll make you laugh while she’s at it.
