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

Hi Keisha, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I started Hype Me Up K Marie LLC to combine my passion for uplifting others with my expertise in media and marketing. Having spent years helping people as a coach, teacher, and mentor, I wanted to create a business that empowered small businesses and entertainers to grow and succeed. My goal was to provide solution-based strategies to help brands achieve visibility and impact, drawing from my own experiences as a mother, a leader in women’s organizations, and my journey with my nonprofit, “Fit for a Purpose.” At the heart of Hype Me Up K Marie LLC is my desire to help others unlock their true potential and thrive in their personal and professional lives.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Some of my favorite spots in Atlanta include simply exploring the city and taking in the sights. Downtown is filled with amazing landmarks, and I also really enjoy the beauty of the Stone Mountain area. But what I love most is networking and meeting new people, so I’m always on the lookout for exciting events happening around the city!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Shoutout to Changing The Mindset Business Mentorship for helping me structure my business and giving me the tools to succeed! A huge thank you to the SheEO District Women’s Organization for not only allowing me to grow my coaching business but also aligning me with invaluable resources and recognizing me as a leader.
