“If You Can’t Make a Dime, Make a Nickel” with Award-Winning Radio Personality and Author Shirley Strawberry
As co-host of the Steve Harvey Morning Show for 23 years, Shirley Strawberry firmly believes that relatability and sharing parts of herself are key factors to her success; if her audience can’t relate to her, then they won’t listen. She loved Chicago broadcasting from a very young age and always knew she wanted to be on the radio. Despite knowing it would be an uphill battle,, she never stopped pushing herself even though thoughts of quitting kept popping up. She shares with Jeanne what kept her going, her best trick for calming her nerves, and why we should not take ourselves so seriously.
