My guest this week is Michael Wayne the CEO of KIN one of the most creative and innovative programming sources in the streaming world.

They find talent that both have name recognition and a strong social media following, but are also relatable to audiences. What makes the shows so appealing to viewers is that they can also communicate with talent and other viewers via the social platforms where the shows run. It makes the viewing less passive and turns it more into a communal experience.They have created franchises attracting millions of viewers around millennial celebrity talent including Tia Mowry (Sister Sister) who has a show called Tia Mowry's Quick Fix, Jeannie Mai (co-host The Real) who has a series called Hello Hunnay, and Adrienne Bailon Houghton (former Cheetah Girl, co-host The Real) whose show is All Things, Adrienne.

Gwendolyn DeVoe is a former freelance plus model turned fashion event producer who devotes much of her time to mentoring and coaching women interested in plus size modeling and entrepreneurship.  In addition, in an effort to ensure that plus size fashion brands and its aficionados receive equal airtime and tasteful recognition in the fashion industry, Gwen has been instrumental in creating a number of platforms for the plus size fashion community.   One of those platforms is Full Figured Fashion Week®, an annual presentation of the fashion industry’s finest plus models, designers, retailers, boutiques and businesses with products and services for the plus community. The event, which launched in 2009, is heralded as one of the industry’s most legitimate gateways for plus fashion and a “must attend’ for anyone involved in the industry, has received both local and international press coverage ranging from the front page of the New York Times to Forbes.com to The New Yorker and everything in between. In June of 2020, Gwen successfully launched a virtual model of Full Figured Fashion Week.  The success of this virtual event coupled with the devastation that the pandemic has had on the event planning industry, has encouraged Gwen to publish her first e-book, “Pivot, Don’t Panic – How to Turn your In-Person Event Into a Successful Virtual Experience”, which will launch at the end of Fall 2020.   As an award winning event producer, industry content writer, motivational speaker and expert on the plus size fashion community, Gwen has written content for USA Today and has appeared as an industry expert on several national radio and television shows including Fox 5’s Good Day New York, OMG Insider Entertainment Tonight, and ASPIRE TV.  She has been featured in The New York Times, The Huffington Post’s Women in Business, Fortune.com, Fashion & Style, Biz Women - The Business Journal and several other business articles.   Gwen’s current project, the Silver Fox Model Camp, is an extremely popular one-day workshop that was created for aspiring mature models.  As the standard of beauty becomes more inclusive, it is Gwen’s desire that this workshop will serve as a platform for mature models to learn how to use their ageless beauty to monetize life experiences and be successful in the beauty, fashion, and acting industries.  The popularity of this workshop has led Gwen to create yet another brand, the Silver Fox Talent Agency, which is set to open in March.   For more information, please contact Gwen at:  devoe@dseventsinc.com or bookgwendevoe@gmail.com.    IG:  @GwenMogulDeVoe or @MogulMoments FB:  @DeVoeSignatureEvents or @SilverFoxModelCamp
