My Story

"It's never too late to re-build you..."

I remeber when when my personal life went haywire after my 7-year marriage ended. I vowed that when I made it on the other side of disappointment, I’d inspire others to do the same.

So what did I do? I channeled my energy into launching a digital brand that would promote positive media, healthy relationships, self-worth and purpose. This was the birth of my online magazine JubileeMag, now iamKimFord.com. Creating it was like therapy.  I was mentally freed up to hear God tell me how to move on with life.

At the time, I didn’t have a background in media and I didn't have anyone to hook me up with industry connections. My undergraduate degree is in psychology, not journalism. Clearly this was a different world for me. I made it because of faith, hard work and the right mindset. How did I do this newly single with two children? I made a decision. No plan B. I figured out how to build my own website and never looked back.

The first major event I covered was the BET Hip Hop Awards in 2007 (pic below). They had no idea I was new to the media world. But guess what…they approved me to hit the red carpet! Since launching the site, I've interviewed celebs like Tyler Perry, Oprah, Tiffany Haddish, Kevin Hart, Donald Glover, Michael B. Jordan, Taraji P. Henson and countless others.

I expanded my brand to include personal development, which led me to write my first book, It’s Never Too Late: The Ultimate Guide to Make An Epic Comeback After A Setback.

Whether I’m on the red carpet or pouring into the lives of women, I have chosen to be the light someone needs to keep going, no matter where they come from or what they’ve been through.
