About Courtney A. Kemp
The Hollywood Reporter named her one of the top 50 “Power Showrunners” seven years and counting. Variety listed her on their “Producers Impact Report” and “Variety 500” list for being a staple in the industry by making an impact on the respective television season. Ad Week named her “TV Creator of the Year” in 2021. In addition, Kemp was named one of “The 50 Most Influential Women in America” by Marie Claire Magazine, included as one of the female powerhouses on Elle Magazine’s “The Agenda,” and named one of Ebony Magazine’s “Power 100” honorees.

Kemp is best known as the mind behind STARZ critically acclaimed gritty New York drama, Power, a series that marked her debut as a creator and showrunner and followed the complex character James “Ghost” St. Patrick and his empire. During its 6-season stint on-air, Kemp continued to raise the show’s notoriety as well as its viewership, making it the second-most-watched series on premium cable only after HBO’s Game of Thrones. Following the success of Power, Kemp became the architect of the groundbreaking Power Universe franchise by creating multiple spin-off series that will span over the coming years. The ‘Powerverse’ franchise centers around a single overarching story similar to what has only been done in the realm of movies, rather than following the typical TV franchise format. Kemp has successfully re-written the franchise model by elaborating on the Power story to achieve a broader and deeper exploration of its characters and themes.

This is an in-person event with Courtney joining virtually. Audience members will be able to partake in a live virtual Q&A with Courtney after the conversation. Complimentary appetizers and beverages will be served.
