I am Kathy O.
I am part of an under-represented market in media by virtue of melanin and age.
I am over 55. I don't look it. I don't feel it. However, I do bring the experience and know-how that comes with that.
I began my arts grind later in life.
I move external to the traditional spaces of Hollywood, ATL, and NYC. The South is my backyard. The world is my stage.
I converge cinematic & visual arts, event production, digital equity, and strategy.
I make creativity my business.
