We had the good fortune of connecting with KeAre’ Rhea and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi KeAre’, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Social media is the biggest form of influence for this generation today . I have a teenager who spends several hours a week posting and watching videos from other influencers. The content and messages portrayed do not provide quality substance, that would be beneficial in the growth of our youth. I decided to change the narrative from “being influenced to being the influence”. With my experience and education in the communications and broadcasting field, I started a program that will empower students to develop and grow their community involvement and online presence. This will also improve their communication and networking skills.

What should our readers know about your business?
KrheaTive Kidz TV provides a creative and unique outlet for teens. KKTV is a virtual nationwide journalism program, where students learn how to research various topics, interview subjects in their communities and showcase their work on our social media platforms. They also have an opportunity to develop an online and community presence, as well as learn the importance of networking and public speaking skills. I am really excited about the opportunity to change the narrative from “being influenced to being the influence”. I have evolved to where I am today by gaining not only formal education in this field, but also by various employment and life experiences. My journey so far has been challenging but rewarding, as it has prepared me for where I am today and is still influencing where I am headed. My approach to overcoming challenges is to learn from my past and face each day head on with a drive to succeed. Success to me is not that I never fail, but that I never give up!
