We recently connected with Katrina Lewis and have shared our conversation below.
Katrina, appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.
To date,…it probably is the creation of this show, ‘Beats Rhymes & Poetry’.
I don’t think I’ve ever believed in something so much as I have with this production. Everybody that has been involved with the push is appreciated more than they know.
I drive 2 hours to Houston to film. Knowing that I’m linking up with other creatives who respect and care about the show just as much as I do is highly respected.
This is the first project I haven’t quit on myself on. No matter how expensive it gets. No matter if people don’t believe in the end goal as much I do.
All in all, I believe Beats Rhymes & Poetry is a necessity for the culture.
Katrina, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
K5 is a nickname that an old associate gave me in college. It’s a play off my first production company, ‘ Kategory Five Productions’. All throughout college, and up til now, I went full on with video production. From weddings to music videos.
Even though I have a list of other production ideas….right now my focus is on pushing the brand of ‘Beats Rhymes & Poetry’, and providing another outlet for extremely talented artists to showcase their talent.
Looking back, are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?
The resources are there. We just can’t be afraid to search for and learn new things. Getting out of our own way.
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
Everybody won’t be believe in your dream. It doesn’t mean it won’t come true. I’ve had a few people come around and quit when it got “too much”. You can’t force people to see what you see. Keep going.
