Phylicia Rashad, Dionne Warwick and Sarah Dash to Join G. Keith Alexander's HarlemAmerica TV

G. Keith Alexander's HarlemAmerica TV (harlemamerica.com) has launched a podcast/video entertainment series featuring exclusive interviews with entertainment change-makers Phylicia Rashad, Dionne Warwick, Keith David, Irene Gandy, Gloria Gaynor, Phyllis Stickney, Kathy Sledge, Rolonda Watts, Valarie Pettiford, Miguel Nunez, Sarah Dash, and others.

The HarlemAmerica TV show can be seen on Roku, Apple TV, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, mobile apps, and online at harlemamerica.com. G. Keith Alexander's HarlemAmerica is a Black-owned multi-platform digital radio podcast, live and on-demand TV, and Comcast VOD network founded by Alexander and headquartered in Harlem.

"The interview with Sarah Dash, unfortunately, became a memorial program. She had suddenly passed away before the TV show could air. I go way back with Sarah to her days in the phenomenal LaBelle. She was an incredible singer and a wonderful lady," said Alexander.

Alexander is a legendary New York City radio/TV personality, actor and commercial voice-over announcer, and popular emcee for major star-studded events. His velvet voice has been on the radio since the 1970s. Alexander recently acted with Robert DeNiro in "The Intern" movie. He is a long-time member of the Screen Actors Guild and AFTRA and has been a popular personality on WKTU, WBLS, KISS-FM, and Jammin' 105.

"The podcast/TV show is me talking with friends, celebrities, and folks I've worked with within the entertainment industry. In the interviews we hear their personal success stories," he said. "Phylicia Rashad and I are old friends. We knew each other before "The Cosby Show" and before she married Ahmad Rashad. She's had an amazing career as an actress and now she's dean of Howard University's College of Fine Arts. Phylicia is inspirational!"

There's also HarlemAmerica Digital Network, a site for Black business owners who want to host professionally produced podcasts promoting their companies.

"I want Black professionals to understand that the HarlemAmerica team can help them build fame, fortune and followers for their personal and business brand through our expertise in marketing and multimedia production," said Alexander, whose broadcast career started in Harlem.

When entrepreneurs host a business podcast show on the HarlemAmerica Digital Network, they are taught how to host a successful talk show. They receive a radio producer, engineer, social media tools, music, audio editing, marketing tools for promoting the podcast, and the opportunity to sell advertising time for their show.

"HarlemAmerica is committed to amplifying Black voices and building communities that support Black businesses," he said. "It is a support and empowerment network of media professionals that nurturer and instruct business owners on the tactics and skills to promote their enterprise."

The HarlemAmerica website and podcast hosted by Alexander features "Total Black Experience" programming on African American entertainment, empowerment, and health & wellness. Every Friday at 10:00 AM EST, he hosts the podcast "What's Hot! HarlemAmerica with G. Keith Alexander." The show and the website are the crossroads where culture, lifestyle, and community meet. The site showcases celebrity interviews, engaging articles, and a new weekly show "The Foxworth Theory" hosted by international businesswoman Eugenia Foxworth. HarlemAmerica's goal is to launch more shows hosted by attorneys, psychologists, financial advisors, business owners, and more.

In addition, there's HarlemAmerica Club (HA Club) that plans to offer discounts to select Harlem shopping at Black-owned shops and to HarlemAmerica-produced special events like comedy nights, musical performances, talent showcases, and more.

"My web analytics shows the HarlemAmerica website has visitors nationally and globally from China, Japan, England, and even Russia," said Alexander, who also started promoting Harlem tourism on the website. "I think the appeal of Harlem is its culture, activities, and history. People from around the world visit Harlem and they buy from our businesses. We are talking to the world from the heart and soul of New York."
