In addition to its massive readership, its online platform receives more than 2 million unique views a month. [2]
The son of an Air Force pilot and a mother who worked as a federal civil servant, Steed shared during an interview with the Atlanta Journal Constitution that his childhood was shaped by African American literature. [3]
Over the last 20 years Munson has worked to build Steed Media from a single newspaper to one of the largest web destinations by a print publication. [4] Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia the Lifestyle and entertainment company distributes in over 19 cities across the country. [5]

In 2016 Steed’s Little Professor Skye children’s books and toys made its way to the shelves and received critical acclaim becoming the 2017 award finalist by the Best Book Awards and the American Book Fest. [7]
The collection of children's books helped lead to the launch of Playful Genius, an African-American owned and operated company providing culturally relevant content to stimulate imaginations and inspire creativity for children of color ages zero to nine. Its accompanying line of adorable Plush Crew toys, stickers and coloring books is also proving to be wildly popular with the zero- to four-year-old set. [8]
Following the success from the Little Professor Skye Series, Munson set his sights on growing his media empire by announcing a partnership with the digital tech giant Digital Remedy. Through the partnership Munson extended Rolling Out's consumer reach to over 30 million digital consumers with a new television channel featuring millennial user produced and independent produced series to be created by building a new state of the art production facility. [9]
Most recently in February of 2021, Steed secured a partnership with Penguin Random House called #AmplifyBlackStories to introduce more stories written by Black authors to a diverse group of readers. [10]
The internationally recognized publisher is a graduate of the historically black all-male Morehouse College, where he received his bachelors degree in political science. [11]
