Random things about our founder...
Karen has a love for big stories, bold culture, and basslines. Inspired at age 10 by the landmark touching BBC documentary Fourteen Days In May about an innocent Black man’s last days on death row,, she’s built a career tackling sensitive topics from from hard-hitting docs to the mystery behind the Bermuda Triangle (and lived to tell the tale). She’s also a walking mixtape of Jungle, Reggae, and 90s Hip Hop — and a legendary Jerk Chicken and mac & cheese.
