Bio
With over a decade of experience in the industry, Kim Ford is an on-air host, TEDx speaker and the author of It’s Never Too Late: The Ultimate Guide to Make An Epic Comeback After A Setback. She has appeared on CNN/Headline News as an entertainment contributor where she shared her take on what's relevant in film, television and celebrity news. She's also a freelance writer for The Hollywood Reporter.
Kim launched her first digital brand, JubileeMag, in 2007. She interviewed some of the industry’s biggest stars such as Tyler Perry, Oprah, Tiffany Haddish, Kevin Hart, Donald Glover, Michael B. Jordan, Taraji P. Henson and many others.
Kim has made several appearances at Radio One on the nationally syndicated Willie Moore Jr. Show sharing life tips and giving the inside scoop on major red carpet events. She’s also appeared on Lifetime TV’s The Rap Game, where she was invited by music mogul Jermaine Dupri to critique his new cast of talent on the show.
In June 2018, Kim became the host and executive producer of her TV show, In The Spotlight With Kim Ford, a celebrity talk show with candid one-on-one interviews. The show reached 2 million households in Atlanta.
In March 2019 Kim was accepted into AAFCA (African American Film Critics Association).
Kim’s purpose reaches deeper than red carpet events, film premieres and interviewing celebrities. Her strongest gift is helping women overcome life’s obstacles. Ms. Ford’s focus is to create content that empowers, educates and entertains. Her message resonates with multicultural women, millennials, and anyone who wants to dream big. This led to her speaking on the TEDx stage at Emory University with her signature talk, “It’s Never Too Late.” It’s also the title of her forthcoming book in early fall 2020.
In March 2020, Kim evolved from publishing Jubilee Mag to becoming a personal brand. As a result, she launched iamkimford.com where she covers entertainment, personal development and lifestyle.
As the mother of a millennial daughter and teen son, Kim knows what it's like to balance the role of single-mom and entrepreneur. She’s overcome many setbacks, but decided to let it make her better instead of bitter.
Ms. Ford is a proud HBCU graduate of Grambling State University and is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
Kim delivered her signature talk, It’s Never Too Late, on the TEDx stage at Emory University.
