I am beyond delighted to chat with Makeda Mays Green, SVP, Digital and Cultural Insights at Nickelodeon for today's episode of #29DaysofMagic! We talk about her first job at Sesame Street, where she knew what she wanted and went after it. We talk about her first 12 years working for Sesame, and how she has gotten to working at Nickelodeon. Makeda talks about her lofty goals, some of the struggles she's gone through, how holding onto her purpose has kept her going on. We talk about how "No." is a sentence. We talk about how being purpose driven is so much more important than the what. Makeda shares about how important it is to shift your internal voice so that you can reframe and react to situations. 

"It is less about making a dollar, and more about making a difference, " - Makeda Mays Green
