3, 2, 1... It’s time for #PitchLive Episode 20 🎬 with #PitchStar LaKendra Tookes This episode of “Pitch Live with Amy Summers” podcast spotlights LaKendra Tookes’ career in entertainment and her short side hustle as a publicist at Pitch Publicity®. LaKendra has an exciting career in entertainment as a writer, actress, TV host, and comedian. From New York City to Los Angeles, her work has been featured on major networks, showcasing her diverse talents across many industry platforms. A proud University of Florida alumna, LaKendra's degree in broadcast journalism laid the foundation in her career journey, which includes writing for Saturday Night Live and serving as a correspondent for Access Hollywood. Currently, she is a vibrant voice on SiriusXM's Radio Andy, a pop culture channel created by Andy Cohen. As host of “Reality Checked,” every Wednesday, known as "KEN'S Day," LaKendra brings her sharp humor and insights to the uncensored world of reality TV. Key pitching/mentorship takeaways from LaKendra Tookes on this episode of “Pitch Live”: Secure your basics: Take care of your essential needs so you can focus fully on pursuing your dreams. Find the right team: Surround yourself with a strong team that supports you and helps you shine. Embrace the climb: Starting from the bottom gives you room to learn, make mistakes, and build confidence before taking on bigger challenges. Mirror the energy: Recognize and model the business savvy of those around you to apply those skills in other areas of your life and work. Reverse networking: Focus on how you can help others when you network, rather than prioritizing your own needs. By offering value first, the benefits will eventually come back to you. Hustle independently: Not having an agent can be an advantage—without one, you learn to hustle and take ownership of your career path.

3, 2, 1...

Marci is an internationally recognized ecolifestyle expert, serial entrepreneur, and author of "ECOrenaissance: Co-Creating A Stylish, Sexy and Sustainable World," (Simon & Schuster).

Align Love with Values: Offer products people already love, but add an element that allows them to make a positive impact. Design for All: Make your offerings accessible and affordable, not just exclusive to high-end consumers. Be Genuine: Approach pitching with authenticity and enthusiasm—avoid coming across as scripted. Prepare, Get Grounded, and Focus: Before pitching virtually, clear your mind and get into the right headspace hours beforehand. Choose Partnerships Consciously: Collaborate with those who align with your brand values, not just big names. Authenticity is key.
