Faith McKinney started out as a Post Office clerk in 1989. She was a single mom then, and her daughter has special needs, so she wanted to work days for childcare reasons. Even now, her daughter is 33, and she's at the functional level of a six-month-old. Constant care. Faith still has to change diapers. Working for the Post Office it takes almost 20 years as a clerk to get the seniority to work days instead of nights. So she became a janitor at the Post Office instead. That's not where the story ends. It's where it begins. Check your excuses at the door for this one and throw away your victim card because Faith never used them every step of the way, for over 20 years! She has since written a book, Schmingling: The Art of Being Well-Connected Through Blatant Self-Promotion and started a Media and PR agency.
In this episode Faith McKinney gives tips on how network virtually. She is the Founder of Schmingling. Faith is an introverted janitor turned author, television producer, and CNN Contributor. Her struggles with imposter syndrome did not derail her from networking her way to interviews with heavy-hitters like news legend Dan Rather, and Hollywood director Lee Daniels. She has been quoted in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and most recently Bloomberg Newsweek. Faith's passion for entrepreneurs has inspired her to speak about acquiring visibility, credibility and authority through earned media. Faith McKinney on LinkedIn Aspira Consulting information

“As African Americans, we’ve given up our narrative. It takes away our humanity. We have human stories just like everyone else—it’s just that our brand isn’t being written by us.” Faith McKinney is an author, media strategist, and longtime listener of the On Brand podcast. This week she joined me as a guest for a discussion on building your personal brand, taking control of the African American narrative, and the need for authenticity. Enjoy!

She has been mentioned in The Wall Street Journal, Ebony, The Washington Post, and many other publications. Please contact her at www.faithmckinney.com or faith@faithmckinney.com. Episode Highlights Schmoozing + Mingling = Schmingling! I had to start my interview by asking Faith what her book Schmingling was all about. When she explained this mashup it makes a ton of sense. “You have to move out of your comfort zone” if you want to be seen, as Faith says. The African American narrative and brand. “As African Americans, we’ve given up our narrative. When we don’t have our own stories and our own narrative, it takes away our humanity. And we’re all lumped together in media stories and we’re only seeing negativity. We have human stories just like everyone else—it’s just that our brand isn’t being written by us.” Taking control of the brand narrative. “Historically, not being assertive with your brand, as far as African Americans go, I believe is a survival technique in itself.” Faith talked about why people need to be as big and blatant as they can in building their personal brand. What should you do in the next five minutes? As Tom Peters says, excellence is the best short-term strategy. I asked Faith what you should do in the five minutes after this show: “Reflect on how you want to be treated and how you treat others.” What brand has made Faith smile recently? “Well, it just happened today,” Faith laughed, noting, “Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben were laid to rest!” We discussed why this move was both huge and needed. “We’ve been asking for that for years.” To learn more, go to her website, faithmckinney.com and check out her book Schmingling on Amazon.
