Shumuriel Ratliff is a former TV news reporter with years of on-camera experience covering stories that demanded clarity, speed and credibility under pressure.

What distinguishes me from a standard communication coach is my dual vantage point: I know what it looks like from inside the newsroom, what reporters are looking for, what they notice, what catches an editor's attention and I know how to translate that knowledge into preparation that works when the cameras are rolling and the pressure is real. I coach what I have lived.

I am passionate about making professional-grade media training accessible to leaders from all backgrounds, regardless of their industry or career stage. I believe the communication gap in professional development isn't a lack of talent, it’s a lack of preparation.

The Ratliff Media Group (RMG) was built to bridge that gap, so executives, entrepreneurs, and rising stars can own their narrative. I'm the girl who will help you prepare for the spotlight, share the beauty products I can't stop talking about, encourage you to bet on yourself and bring the questions nobody else thought to ask.
