  • 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.
    About Shirley:
    Shirley's career in radio began in the mid-80s at Chicago’s WGCI-FM, where she was co-host of The Doug Banks Show. From 2000 to 2005, Shirley was the co-host of Harvey’s popular LA-based morning show which became the #1 morning show in Los Angeles. In 2005, months after their final broadcast in L.A., The Steve Harvey show went syndicated with Premiere Networks, and Shirley joined the show as co-host. Heard on more than 100 radio stations by nearly seven million weekly listeners, it’s the number-one syndicated morning show in America. Shirley has been recognized as one of the “Most Influential Women in Radio,”and she was honored with the Alliance for Women in Media’s annual Gracie Award in the National Radio Co-Host category in 2018. She also won an NAACP award for first book, The Strawberry Letter: Real Talk, Real Advice, Because Bitterness Isn't Sexy in 2011, based on the popular Strawberry Letter segment on The Steve Harvey Morning Show.

    Hearing SS talk about trying to cover the check at breakfast, knowing she couldn't afford it, drives home the narrative Nesto has given us on the prison phone calls. She is horrible with money and trying to keep up the "Doug Bankses" and "Steve/Marjorie Harveys" 😢😢😢

      It's not at all a double whammy. It's a blessing. I believe Shirley is stronger than ever. She has The Almighty God, she has everything she needs.
