The Power Broker Media Group - publisher of The Power Broker Magazine and PowerBrokerNews - is pleased to announce the addition of veteran journalist, media strategist, and entrepreneur Alexia McKay to its growing team as Senior Multimedia Producer and News Correspondent.
She joins the company with 15+ years in the industry, Alexia brings a wealth of knowledge and creativity we are excited to integrate in our expanding editorial and broadcast platforms.
As part of her new role, Alexia will serve as the anchor for Grapevine News, soon to air on the Power Broker’s YouTube channel as a twice weekly video news broadcast, delivering top global, national, and local headlines twice each week. In addition, she will contribute multimedia content, feature stories, interviews, and special reports connecting readers throughout Tampa Bay and beyond.
Alexia is an avid believer that stories have the power to educate, connect, and create change.
"I've admired the Power Broker’s work for years,” says Alexia. “Its founders, including Gypsy Gallardo and Deborah Figgs-Sanders, have not only built a respected publication but have also created a platform that uplifts business leaders, changemakers, and the community. I'm excited to join a team working to build an innovative new multimedia approach to the chronicling community.”
Alexia added, “To be in a role that leverages and values my diverse skill set is exciting."
Her role with Grapevine News (airing on YouTube), producing and reporting the top global, national and local headlines twice a week, will draw from Alexia’s work in broadcast journalism.
A Tampa native and graduate of Florida A&M University, she started her career at WCTV Eyewitness News as a television producer. From there, she moved back to her hometown where she honed her skills working at WTSP News Channel 10, WWSB in Sarasota and Spectrum Bay News 9 in St. Petersburg.
In 2019, Alexia expanded her professional focus beyond television and entered the world of freelance journalism and digital media. She joined award-winning journalist and FAMU alumna Jenise Griffin at the Florida Courier and Daytona Times as an editorial assistant and contributing reporter.
A media entrepreneur at heart, Alexia is also the founder and editor in chief of RoyalTee Magazine, a lifestyle and culture publication that celebrates Black culture on a global stage.
Her passion for purpose-driven storytelling also led her to create The Crowned Assignment, a maternal wellness initiative focused on supporting mothers through healing, self-care, advocacy, and mental wellness. Through the organization and its Crowned Motherhood platform, Alexia works to create safe spaces and resources for mothers navigating the challenges of pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and everyday motherhood.
She is the author of The Crowned Motherhood Healing Coloring Book and Reflective Journal, an adult coloring book and journal designed to encourage reflection, healing, and self-care among mothers.
Alexia’s entrepreneurial portfolio also includes Rattler Girls Rock, a growing lifestyle brand celebrating Historically Black College and University (HBCU) sisterhood, leadership, and excellence, particularly among women connected to Florida A&M University and the broader HBCU community.
Alexia has also built an impressive portfolio in public relations and media consulting. Working independently and with agencies, she has secured more than 3,100 media placements for clients across industries including business, technology, healthcare, hospitality, law, and nonprofit organizations.
Throughout her career, Alexia has remained committed to using media as a tool for empowerment and community engagement. Whether producing television news, reporting on local issues, launching independent media ventures, or advocating for maternal wellness, her work consistently reflects a dedication to storytelling with purpose.
Beyond her professional accomplishments, Alexia is a devoted mother of two daughters whom she often credits as her greatest inspirations. Her experiences as a mother have shaped much of her advocacy work, including her efforts to promote maternal wellness, mental health awareness, and community support for women and families.
She is an active member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and the Tampa Bay Association of Black Journalists, where she formerly served as president and vice president.
Now, as she joins the Power Broker team, Alexia is eager to help shape the next chapter of the publication's growth while continuing to serve audiences through meaningful journalism.
"At the heart of everything I do is a commitment to telling stories that matter," Alexia said. "I am excited to join a team that values impactful journalism, community engagement, and innovation. I can't wait to get started."
