About Prism Magazines FOUNDERS

From crafting comedy skits in his childhood bedroom to collaborating with hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur, Stephen Edwards embodies the creative spirit that defines New York City's entertainment scene.

Born and raised in the cultural melting pot of NYC, Stephen discovered his storytelling gift early. At just nine years old, he wrote, directed, and performed a one-man comedy show, playing every character while capturing the hilarious dynamics of his family life – a clear sign of the creative force he would become.

His journey through entertainment has been as diverse as his talents. Stephen's work with iconic artists shaped his understanding of the industry from the inside out. His collaborations read like a who's who of 90s hip-hop royalty: Tupac Shakur, ThugLife, BWOD, and Big Syke, among others. These experiences gave him an intimate look at the power of authentic storytelling and its ability to move audiences.

But Stephen's narrative doesn't stop at entertainment. His entrepreneurial drive led him to successfully launch and operate multiple businesses across the beauty industry and home remodeling sectors, while honing his skills as a compelling public speaker. This broad business acumen adds depth to his creative pursuits, understanding both the artistic and business sides of the entertainment world.

Today, Stephen channels his passion for storytelling into creating narratives that challenge minds and touch hearts. When he's not crafting compelling stories, he's giving back to his community, helping others find their path and inspiring them to chase their dreams with the same determination that fueled his own journey.

Stephen's mission remains unchanged from that young boy recording family skits: to create stories that not only entertain but leave an indelible mark on the soul. His unique combination of creative talent, industry experience, and entrepreneurial success makes him a valuable voice in today's entertainment landscape.

Founder & Owner of TALK Pageants. From center stage to the courtroom, Kate Kingsley's career reads like a masterclass in reinvention and versatility. As a young performer, she lit up screens across Disney Channel, Fox, and Nickelodeon, laying the groundwork for what would become a multi-faceted journey through entertainment and law.

Her early years sparkled with achievements that most artists only dream of. Beyond gracing international commercials and print magazines, Kingsley's athletic prowess earned her the prestigious Miss Fitness America crown. She dominated Florida's entertainment scene, claiming the Mrs. Florida 2023 title and electrifying crowds as a dancer for the NBA's Orlando Magic and the University of Florida Dazzlers.

But perhaps one of her most influential roles came as a dance studio owner, where she mentored rising star Dani Leigh – who would later go on to produce and star in Prince's final music video and collaborate with Chris Brown. This ability to spot and nurture talent would later serve her well in unexpected ways.

In a plot twist worthy of Hollywood, Kingsley traded her performance shoes for law books, emerging as a formidable force in both federal and state courts. Her legal career reads like a who's who of entertainment industry headlines: representing Dani Leigh in her high-profile case against DaBaby, defending America's Most Wanted host John Walsh's daughter, and advocating for internationally renowned DJ Kristin Knight.

Never one to stay in a single lane, Kingsley channeled her experiences into words, authoring three compelling books on the legal system. Her creative spirit led her to craft a children's fairytale series that weaves important lessons about wisdom, character, and understanding into enchanting stories. As the founder and driving force behind TALK Pageants magazines and VIP Magazine, she's produced over 40 publications, creating yet another platform for storytelling and influence.

Kate Kingsley's journey proves that in the entertainment industry, the most compelling stories aren't just the ones we tell – they're the ones we live. Her career stands as a testament to the power of embracing every opportunity, whether it leads to the spotlight or behind the scenes, to the stage or to the courtroom.
