Kia is often described as someone good at connecting the dots - whether it’s for relationship building or story development.


The Atlanta native is revered as a steel magnolia - a woman who is strong and independent, yet feminine. She approaches any effort with grace, poise and dignity.


Kia earned a bachelor’s degree in public relations and a Master of Public Administration from Florida A&M University. She also holds numerous certifications in communications, media relations and social media.
