In building her online presence, she has also garnered support from a wide range of brands and advertisers. How did she manage this at the young age of 23?
In this workshop, Kai will share both the financial and mental steps that led her to be successful and effective in the building of her online brand as an entrepreneur and the creator of Kai Foster, LLC.
How did she build her brand with a following of over 240k followers across multiple social media platforms? She will explore a range of topics including: financial tips and tricks including how to ethically monetize your creative talents and abilities, the equipment she uses, and the mental health care needs that she practices to stay sane.

After her workshop presentation we’ll open up for Q&A with our online audience.

Join us this October, as we host a series of four financial literacy workshops for filmmakers.
With the impact of COVID-19 and the growing awareness of the effects of systematic racism on BIPOC communities, Sisters in Cinema, a, Chicago-based 501(C)3, is launching a free four-part virtual Financial Literacy for Filmmakers Series, starting Monday October 4, 2021. The goal is to begin to address the economic inequities BIPOC filmmakers were already facing that were amplified because of COVID-19 through increased financial literacy.
The free series, made possible, in part, with a professional development programming grant from Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE), aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to manage money effectively and make smart financial decisions—no matter the level of income they earn. The Sisters in Cinema workshops meet via Zoom Meeting from 6:30 – 8:00pm. Interested participants can register at: https://sicflff.eventbrite.com.
The workshops include:
