Today we’d like to introduce you to Shronda Armstrong.
Hi Shronda, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
My journey as a media executive and entrepreneur officially began in March 2019 when I launched Geaux Queen. The vision was simple but profound: to build a premier multimedia house under the guiding principle, “Where Self Love Reigns.” I looked across the media landscape and realized how rare it was for powerhouse women—especially those with life-changing stories and undeniable expertise—to have a space that truly honored their brilliance without forcing them to shrink or water themselves down.
What started as a deep passion project quickly evolved into a fully structured, multi-platform ecosystem. Over the last seven years, we have built Geaux Queen into a trusted multimedia network consisting of The Q-Chat podcast, Geaux Queen Magazine, and our visual network, GQTV.
However, as the brand matured, I noticed a critical gap in the market. Many female entrepreneurs, speakers, and executives were seeking massive media visibility, but they lacked the high-end creative assets and strategic branding necessary to back up their genius. They were treating their platforms like hobbies instead of empires.
Recognizing this, I made the intentional decision to transition Geaux Queen from a standard media outlet into a full-scale Creative and Media Agency. Today, we don’t just provide empty exposure; we build legacies. Our agency officially specializes in three core high-ticket pillars: custom Brand Strategy & Audits, elite Book Publishing (guiding authors through white-glove creative direction and formatting), and premium Visual Content Production.
Getting to where I am today required setting ironclad boundaries, prioritizing professional infrastructure, and refusing to give away my labor for free. By staying true to our mission of self-love and executive authority, Geaux Queen has evolved from an independent movement into an elite creative house designed to give powerful women the crown they’ve already earned.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has been anything but a smooth road. To build a media house from the ground up requires an immense amount of grit, but doing so while navigating deep personal and systemic hurdles changes the stakes entirely.
I am a domestic violence survivor, a single mother who raised three children and someone who has had to quietly manage serious health issues behind the scenes while keeping the cameras rolling. On top of those deeply personal battles, entering the entrepreneurial landscape as a woman of color introduces a unique set of friction. From fighting to get access to capital and resources to constantly dealing with people who undervalue your expertise or expect your premium labor for free, the systemic obstacles are very real.
For a long time, I had to carry the heavy weight of showing up for everyone else while operating from an empty cup. But I chose to look at my journey not as a victim, but as a generational curse breaker. I knew that if I wanted to change the trajectory for my children and rewrite my family’s legacy, I had to build a castle out of the very stones that were thrown at me.
Every single trial I faced became the foundational blueprint for Geaux Queen. My experiences are the exact reason our tagline is “Where Self Love Reigns.” I didn’t just wake up one day and decide to preach about self-love, boundaries, and executive authority—I had to fight for my life to discover what those words actually meant. Surviving those challenges taught me the ultimate value of protecting my peace, standing ten toes down in my worth, and building a platform where other women can do the exact same.

Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
When it comes to networking and finding a mentor, my absolute biggest piece of advice is to transition away from a mindset of transaction and lean heavily into mutual respect and value creation. Too often, people approach networking looking for what they can get—a free handout, an introduction, or unpaid access to someone else’s hard-earned expertise. True, lasting professional relationships are never built that way.
What has worked incredibly well for me is focusing entirely on alignment, integrity, and clear execution. If you want to connect with high-level mentors, you have to show up as a high-level executor yourself. Don’t just ask to “pick someone’s brain.” Instead, respect their time, study their work, and identify how you can support their ecosystem or offer value before you ever make a request.
In my own journey, I’ve learned that protecting my executive boundaries and standing firm in my worth naturally filters out low-alignment connections and attracts the right rooms, partners, and mentors. Look for rooms where people respect business infrastructure, value long-term legacy over viral trends, and are willing to invest in relationships properly. When you treat your own platform with deep respect, the mentors and networks that align with that standard will naturally follow.
