What Mr. Rogers knew that Youtube doesn't

Sierra L. Boone is a writer, producer, and founder using media and technology to build calmer, more connected childhoods. A graduate of Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, she has crafted stories for brands like The History Channel, ADIDAS, Verizon Media, and AFROPUNK—work rooted in the belief that storytelling can heal and transform communities.

In 2021, Sierra founded Boone Productions, launching The Nap Time Show®, a rest-centered children’s series now airing on PBS and trusted by tens of thousands of families worldwide. What began as a small idea in her living room has grown into a movement redefining what “screen time” can look like for kids.

Today, she leads the company’s next evolution: Fruit Snack Streams, a first-of-its-kind digital platform helping child care centers manage classroom transitions and emotional regulation through calm, story-driven media. By merging early childhood development, neuroscience, and storytelling, Sierra is helping educators reduce chaos, improve retention, and make peace a daily classroom practice.

Recognized as a Ford Philanthropy Fellow, Black Ambition Semifinalist, and Rocket Companies Marketing Accelerator Winner, Sierra continues to champion rest, innovation, and representation from her hometown of Detroit—proving that impact storytelling isn’t just entertainment; it’s infrastructure for a better world.
