Cleveland native and actress Kym Whitley, of “sparks” fame, was introduced to the world via Hollywood. The funny, talented, and driven quadruple-threat – actress, producer, director and stand-up comedienne –became a staple on television guest-starring on popular shows such as “Grey’s Anatomy” and HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” which earned her Emmy nods. Whitley’s personal passions include raising an adopted son, giving back to her community that touches her heart. She donates her time and talents to as many fundraisers that her schedule permits. A few of her passions are HBCU’s (Historically Black Colleges and Universities), women shelters, victim’s rights and anything having to do with children. Whitley started her own non-profit called Comics 4 Kids, which hosts toy drives during Christmas and celebrity basketball on the East Coast.
