Kendra Jo

Straight outta the sticks of VA, Kendra Jo is a multi-talented, impassioned artist, writer, and filmmaker. Born in a town where boredom was invented, the absence of a big city playground, connected her to a deeper relationship with her creative muse. Before strutting the yard at Hampton University, she was already drawing cartoons, writing poetry and short stories, playing the piano, and shooting on 35mm film. 

She worked as a Writer’s Assistant on Season One of BET’s Boomerang where she was granted the opportunity to co-write an episode. Not long after, she wrote the Mercedes-Benz How To Campaign. While on the set of Boomerang, Kendra soon realized her relationship with the camera may have to expand into film. In the summer of 2019, she wrote and directed a black & white micro-series called GOALS.

Kendra is currently penning her first feature film to represent her love for a niche of human life she coins, soft ghetto. In her spare time, she curates her Instagram feed to reflect a somewhat eventful life, listens to music, and builds model cars. She’s currently working on a 1986 Monte Carlo.
