Hi, I’m Kathia! I’m a daughter, sister, student, blogger, dreamer, coffee enthusiast, your best friend, podcast host to Konversations with Kathia, cast member to The Wayfarer Podcast, and most importantly - a child of God. I've been a lifelong resident of Tampa Bay, currently pursuing my Bachelor's degree at the University of South Florida while actively contributing to my family's business. My overall goal through all ventures I encounter is to help you embrace and be confident walking in the beautiful, unique light that God has placed inside you!

Hello! At a V3 event in February 2023, Zach spoke about a God that I realized I needed to know. The strange thing is, I have been a Christian most of my life. Born again multiple times with many tears during alter calls. We live in an enchanted reality that VUVIVO helped uncover for me. I love people, chicken wings and pivoting from comedy (I do Stand-Up) to deep conversations. I work as an Account Manager for corporate America where I get most of my stand-up material. I'm excited to help others see this beautiful, enchanted world we live in.
