Our story

No seat at the table? Build the table.

The company started with a frustration: a serious lack of diversity in traditional media, and no seat at the table for its founder. So Sheletta Brundidge built her own.

In 2020, Sheletta Makes Me Laugh launched as a podcast, promotions and production company. Today our team produces podcasts, runs one-of-a-kind marketing campaigns, creates audio, video and digital content, publishes books and builds brand partnerships.
