The Title IV-E Child Welfare Scholars Program at SMSU is hosting a lunch and learn with Sheletta Brundidge on Tuesday, October 6, 2026 at 12:00-1:30PM in the Conference Center Lower Level.
Join comedian, author, podcaster, and radio host Sheletta Brundidge from SHElettamakesmelaugh for a fun, informative lunch.
Sheletta Brundidge is an Emmy® Award-winning comedian and radio host. Aware of the serious lack of diversity in traditional media and frustrated by her own inability to find a seat at the table, she decided to build her own. In 2020 Sheletta created SHElettaMakesMeLaugh.com, a podcast, promotions and production company. While continuing her role as a talk show host on WCCO Radio and a commentator on TPT’s Almanac, Sheletta has risen in stature as an influencer, social media phenomenon, and activist for people with autism and entrepreneurs. With a journalism degree, a newsroom background, and several stints as a stand-up comedian, Sheletta straddles the worlds of public policy and comedy and is equally at home in both.
Sheletta helps social workers, child welfare advocates, and future professionals build an authentic understanding of lived experiences and systemic disparities through multimedia storytelling, culturally representative literature, and community-driven safety initiatives.
As a prominent advocate, author, and media executive, this lunch and learn will provide a direct blueprint for how future professionals can become more informed, empathetic, and effective advocates for their clients.
The lunch is free but please register by Sept. 29 at www.SMSU.edu/go/sheletta or for questions contact childwelfare@SMSU.edu
