Kayona Ebony Brown joins us to discuss her journey to becoming an Emmy award winning writer!
.
Growing up as an only child to a single mom in D.C., Kayona wasn't raised to be a stereotypical girl. Her mom allowed her to be a child first and foremost, and let her curiosity and explorative nature guide her growth. This nonlinear rearing method provided Kayona with the flexibility to engage with a variety of subjects that she found interesting, but she often references her early interest in sports as a foundational element to the work she does now on many major sports related pieces of content.
It wasn't until Kayona identified her own ability to control her perceptions and reality that she began to truly flourish within the creative space. This allowed her to navigate away from some very dark roads and past failures, so that she was no longer operating from a place of fear, but a place of confidence and control.
She distinctly remembers reading Neale Donald Walsh's book "Conversations with God", which changed her life and her outlook on what was possible for her future during the beginning of the pandemic. This uncertain period made her ask, "why not" and was a catalyst for her to begin networking with other creatives more seriously than she had before.
Her embodiment of the phrase, "you'll see it when you believe it" reinforces her narrative about controlling her own reality, and is a guiding force in the routines and methodologies she employs in order to find success in her creative process.
Her writing has opened the door to working with high caliber talent, such as Viola Davis on some of the worlds, biggest stages such as the Super Bowl. It is an incredible honor to know and to have worked with Kayona in the creative space and her career trajectory is scaling at an impressive rate, which is to be expected when you're as talented as she is.
