Kimberly T Smith (Founder/ Creator/ Writer/ Producer) hails from Detroit, Michigan. Her love of the Arts was birthed through assisting her aunt, Dianne Smith, with her stage play, “The Devil Made Me Do It,” which saw its theatrical debut in the early 90’s. As a result, Kim got to wear many hats from: stagehand, to costumes, set dressing, props and so much more. The show would eventually make its way on a national tour, as well as off-Broadway in New York.
Through her company, Go & Shepherd Productions, along with her nonprofit entity, NextGen Creatives, Kim endeavors to impact this generation with family friendly faith based content.
She graduated with a B.S. in Business Administration from Southwestern Christian University, a Masters of Science in Higher Education Leadership from Northeastern State University and a degree in Pastoral Studies from Rhema Bible Training College in Broken Arrow, OK.
Additional trainings include: The Austin School of Film for screenwriting and post production work; Institute of Children's Literature, workshops on Playwriting; and the most recent was Film Lab, which was a collaborative training. Kim is a published author of two books and attends CFTN (Church for the Nations). She resides in Phoenix, AZ.
