Shaunie Henderson is an executive producer, entrepreneur, author, and First Lady who
built a legacy when the world expected her to stay in her lane. As the creator behind
Basketball Wives, one of reality TV’s most pioneering franchises, she turned one bold idea
into a television empire, and an undenial cultural force. More than a decade later, the
franchise has launched multiple spin-offs, and helped to amplify the voices of Black women
in a space that has far too often sidelined their stories.

Shaunie’s career is proof that reinvention is a combination of strategy and skill. What began
as survival after a very public divorce became a body of work that continues to open doors for
women to own their stories. Today, the extent of her influence can be found in her success as
an author, speaker, and co-host of The Grown & Growing Podcast with her husband, Pastor
Keion Henderson. Together, they hold space for honest, often hilarious conversations that
most couples reserve for behind closed doors. With candor and wisdom, they share the
lessons, missteps, and grace that come with love, leadership, and blended family life.
Beyond her work in media, Shaunie is a mother of five, philanthropist, and communitybuilder
who believes peace in itself is a form of ambition. From launching HerSay: Tea Time,
a women’s ministry, to her role as First Lady, she is committed to creating spaces where
women can gather, speak freely, and grow in faith, family, and purpose.

With over 2M followers across platforms, Shaunie is a voice women trust to speak truthfully
about growth, grit, and grace. Her journey is a testament to evolution that can happen at
any age, and also to success which isn’t just what you build; it’s the peace and purpose you
protect along the way.
