Hailing from our nation’s capital, Kayona Ebony Brown is a multi-hyphenate storyteller who grew up in a home that nurtured her eccentricities and unexpected interests of a girl. Thus, she gives fuel to female-driven vehicles, emphasizing existential undertones, putting unusual or unpredictable women at the wheel.
Rejecting the presumed path of a Washingtonian (government work) in favor of art, Kayona started in entertainment as a radio DJ, which led to running her own indie record label.
Most recently, Kayona was a winner of the Roadmap Writer’s Diversity Initiative, and the Commission on Arts and Humanities/NEA grant for literature. Kayona was tapped by CBS to pen BEFORE JACKIE, a Super Bowl LV feature starring Viola Davis, and the NCAA Championship game tease starring Jon Hamm.
Kayona is represented by manager Ryan H. Cunningham at Anonymous Content.
