About

Creator of celebrity entertainment and lifestyle blog, http://cottenkandi.com .

Upon graduating college, and receiving a BA in Media Marketing/Communications, I was concerned about my future and pursuing a career that I would be passionate about. I believe many people work for the sake of working and never because they enjoy what they do. Therefore, I decided to pursue my dreams and would rather fail than to have never tried at all; this motto is what I continue to live by. It is my motivation when I am tired from a long day or discouraged from rejection. For all these reasons Cotten Kandi was created. In 2008, I completed three internships (partly because it was required), my first as a public relations assistant, another for a minor record label and the third for a major label in New York City. As a result, I quickly realized the importance online/new media played in the promotional process for artists and their entertainment venues. I wanted to take advantage of that. Although I was a bit late and naive on the world of blogging, it was something I wanted to explore. By the time I jumped aboard there were already millions of urban entertainment and celebrity blogs online, but I didn’t allow that to stop me. I also believed (and still do) that I had a natural way with words. What’s difficult to articulate, for me, was always easiest said on paper (in this case digitally).

There is so much more I want to do. I look forward to providing a media outlet that you can enjoy and one I will enjoy providing. Thank you.
