Q) What are the recent projects that you are working on?

 

A) Kiki Mobile is my dream project but I’m also working on a faith based movie called Chase Hope and Faith and it looks like it’s moving forward with an offer just in! I’m also still working on Hot Tamales Live a comedy troupe created to showcase women in comedy! I’m also doing a fundraiser for Mexico, Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic on Thursday, October 5th! We want to help rebuild a children’s hospital that lost their shelter in PR!

 

Q) Please tell us the premise for Kiki Mobile. 

 

A) It’s an entertainment news magazine show on wheels. We go where the action is! We include all cultures and celebrate the diversity of our great nation. We are showcasing new talent and celebrating those established. Everyone says it’s the first mobile show and now I know why no one had really done it before. It’s hard to find parking for our massive RV that we use as our studio! Lol

 

Q) How did you the series find its way to the FYI network?

 

A) I have always had a great relationship with A&E Networks. They have always supported my ideas. For example, many years ago they sponsored Hot Tamales Live and helped me to develop the show live on stage which was instrumental for us to build a huge talent pool. I can say we have had a relationship for a decade. FYI is their lifestyle channel so a traveling show fit right in.

 

Q) What has been some challenges of filming that has surprised you?

 

A) We have had to do most of our filming on the fly without a pre-set schedule! It’s insane as we get calls to go cover events with great opportunities for content and we have to be ready at all times! It’s like so organic, unpredictable and runs on a schedule that only God knows!

 

Q) Who are some guests we can expect to see on the show?

 

A) We interviewed stars from Heroes, The NFL, stars from today’s hit shows like The Last Tycoon, Queen of The South, Major Crimes, Disney Stars, Code Black, etc.

 

Q) Talk about the RV and what it is like inside of it.

 

A) The RV has two fire places, two large screen TV’s one inside (one outside), a full functioning kitchen, leather interior and all the latest gadgets!

 

Q) If you could have any guest on Kiki Mobile, who would you want to interview?

 

A) I would love to interview Leonardo DiCaprio. He kissed me on my birthday once! [laughs]

 

Q) What have been some of your most memorable moments from filming the show?

 

A) I loved learning about other cultures and finding ways to bring people together! I feel fortunate to be in a position to entertain while making a small difference in the world that currently needs so much healing!

 

Q) You are a part of social media. Why is that such an important way to keep in touch with your fans?

 

A) Yes we are very much a part of social media we want to connect with our viewers! @kikimobileofficial on all handles.

 

Q) What would you like to say to everyone who is a fan and supporter of you and your work?

 

A) Thank you, a million times. I work so hard for you!
