~ Actress ~
Copa:
1. What is the most fascinating element you love about the art of acting? For me, acting is the art of transformation. The most fascinating element is stepping into someone else’s shoes—living their joys, struggles, and contradictions—and discovering truths about humanity that I might never encounter otherwise. It’s like holding up a mirror to society while simultaneously exploring the deepest corners of myself.
2. What was your first project? My very first project was a stage production of When Boys Exhale in the role of Ms. Shelia. I still remember the thrill of hearing the audience respond—it was the moment I knew I was where I belonged. It opened in DC and took it to Atlanta.
3. What have been your most challenging roles so far? The most challenging roles are always the ones that demand vulnerability. Playing a character who has endured loss or trauma requires me to dig deep emotionally, sometimes into uncomfortable places. But those roles are also the most rewarding because they connect so powerfully with audiences.
4. Have you always worked for the same production company? Not at all. I’ve collaborated with different companies over the years, each with its own creative energy. That variety has shaped me as an artist—every team brings new perspectives, and I love adapting to different creative environments.
5. Please tell our readers about your latest premiere. My latest premiere was a proud moment for me. I had a lead role in the movie, and I served as associate producer. The premiere of Broke Down and Bougie was anything but ordinary. Imagine three bougie besties stepping out for what they thought would be a glamorous evening, only to find themselves tangled in a series of hilarious misadventures. Seeing the audience laugh reinforces why I do this work. It’s not just entertainment; it is a connection.
6. What does the future hold for Kathi and her fabulous world of acting? The future is about growth and exploration. I want to continue challenging myself with diverse roles, perhaps even stepping into directing or producing. My dream is to tell stories that inspire, provoke thought, and leave a lasting impact. Acting is my world, and I plan to keep expanding it in ways that surprise even me.
