Kimberly Wilson

Kimberly Wilson is a seasoned media professional, entrepreneur and professor. Her work experience has included roles at TheGrio, The Root, Black Enterprise, the NAACP Image Awards, the American Black Film Festival and Think Tank Digital, and most recently, ESSENCE Magazine.

Kimberly received her B.A. in Communications from the University of Maryland and her J.D. from the Howard University School of Law.
