Episode #117 Empowering Narratives: Insights from Kay A. Oliver

Storytelling, working in Hollywood, leaving Hollywood to go her own way, and championing women's resilience are just a few of the things we talked about on this episode.

Kay A. Oliver, is a dynamic storyteller holding degrees in Radio/TV/Film from California State University, Fullerton, and an MBA in Business. With over 3 decades in entertainment, spanning studios and TV stations, she produced, wrote, and directed films.

Defying gender biases and the notion that female-centric stories lack marketability in Hollywood, Oliver leaped into authorship, championing women's resilience and intelligence in her novels. Characters, often professionals such as archeologists and anthropologists, navigate life's challenges with humor despite their imperfections.

Passionate about storytelling, Kay's literary journey began with the success of "Disturbed Tombs," evolving into a compelling series. Fifteen books later, Oliver is still winning awards for her stories.  Her latest, "Fear Struck," won two literary awards just months after its release. 

Honored in Marquis' Who's Who in America 2024, Oliver's legacy as a legendary storyteller is cemented.
