Y’all ask me all the time, “Ki, what games are you working this season?” 👀 Well, here’s your answer!

Take a screenshot, save the dates, and come see me!

Don’t let me catch you saying you didn’t know I was there. 😂

That’s a wrap on the regular season! 🐅🏈

My first time hosting high school football and what an experience! The culture at Massillon is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. The pride, the passion, the PEOPLE… now I get why they say Tiger Nation is different!

Huge thank you to @maragas1 for believing in me and trusting me with this opportunity. I owe you one, big guy! 🙏🏾✨

And shoutout to the seriously talented people I got to work alongside: @ak_drewkinz , @mariamundy , @dave_onthemic , @djlondonbridges , Arianna and Andrew with Massillon Mic Check. You guys are awesome, and I truly can’t say enough good things about this crew!

To Tiger Nation, thank you for welcoming me into your world and making this first season one to remember.🧡

The regular season may be over, but we’re not done yet…T-I-G!🔥

Did you know there's an entire department with the City of Cleveland dedicated to helping your favorite small businesses? It's called the Department of Development.

And every month in the TV20 series Make it in Cleveland, we highlight those places and the resources the Development Department offers to help small business owners thrive. Hosted by Kierra Cotton, the show takes you inside Cleveland businesses to learn the story behind them, why they chose our city, and what it takes to make it in Cleveland.

You can watch Make it in Cleveland right now on TV20's YouTube. by @kierracotton_

Whew…vulnerable post incoming!🥹 But I wanted to get this out as basketball season is fast approaching…

Lately, I’ve had to remind myself just how lucky I am. Somewhere along the way, I think I lost sight of that for a minute. I got caught up in the changes, the new faces, and the feeling that I had to protect the space I’ve worked so hard to create for myself.

And honestly? I think I needed that perspective check.

Because when I really step back and look at my life, I get to do something I never even knew was possible. I’ve built a career using my gifts, and still get to chase big dreams in the city that raised me and beyond!🤍

That is something I will never take for granted.

Yes, things are changing. There are new hosts(as SO many of you have pointed out to me 😅) joining the Cavs and the Charge. But I’m still here. I’m still in the mix. I still get to walk into arenas in my hometown, do what I love, and connect with SO many of you along the way. And that’s what truly matters.

I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities this city has given me, for the people who continue to open doors for me, my incredibly talented co-workers, for the gifts God gave me, and for the ability to use those gifts in a way that feels meaningful.

So here’s to Season 6 of the Cavs, Season 4 of the Charge and Season 2 of CSU🥹💜

Still dreaming. Still growing. Still figuring it all out. Still incredibly grateful.

I love y’all. Thank you for cheering me on through every stage, every pivot, every win, every “what the hell am I doing?” moment 😂 and everything in between. Cleveland, you’ve given me more than I could’ve ever imagined. More to come🫶🏾 by @kierracotton_

The Who’s Who in Black Cleveland Celebration is a room I look forward to being in every year, and this year was extra special ✨

I was honored to be recognized as an Emerging Leader…like, what?! 😂 Who let me become important at my job?! lol

But seriously, I’m incredibly grateful for the recognition, especially during a season when so many of us, myself included, are simply trying to figure it all out, keep growing, and trust the process. To be recognized while I’m still learning and finding my way means more than I can say.

Congratulations to all of this year’s honorees! It’s always inspiring to be surrounded by so many incredible people making an impact across our community.

And a very special congratulations to Margot Copeland, former Port of Cleveland Board Chair, on her well deserved Lifetime Achievement Award. What a legacy! 👏🏾

Feeling grateful, encouraged, and maybe just a little important🤭✨

June’s Junk!✨🫶🏾 by @kierracotton_

June 14 — what an incredible day! 💫 Happy Laila Edwards Day!

It was such an honor to be part of the Dream Big Parade and to MC the festivities celebrating Cleveland Heights’ very own Olympic gold medalist, Laila Edwards 🥇✨

She was so sweet, and I’m truly grateful to have been included in such a special day. Moments like this remind me how powerful community can be 💙 by @kierracotton_

Still scorching hot in these streets babyyyyyy…
