Q+A with Kara:
Why was being part of the 40 Over 40 Photography Campaign experience important to you?
When I turned 41, I started to think, OMG, what have I been doing with my life? And, I also started thinking, man, I’m getting old where did the time go? It took me a while to embrace my forties, but now it’s getting easier each year.
I’m finding that I’m much wiser and able to make better decisions for myself, which made it the perfect time to be part of the 40 over 40 photography campaign.
What is your profession?
Marketing & Event Consulting
What is your greatest accomplishment?
My greatest accomplishment was receiving my Bachelor’s degree from Tennessee State University in Speech Communication. It took me 7 years to get my degree, but I never gave up.

Family matters to me. They have been my supporters in everything I have accomplished.
