Keynote Speaker
Karma Bridges
Actress. Filmmaker. Women’s Advocate. Entrepreneur.
Karma’s superpower is her ability to listen to diverse voices and tell authentic stories that need to be heard. She believes in the impossible, knows that self-love is the foundation for success, and pursues her goals like an Olympic athlete. Karma is a member and creative designer for The Elevator Creative, LLC, a collective, multidimensional agency that provides support, mentorship, and promotion to established and aspiring content creators (i.e., musicians, artists, photographers, promoters, graphic designers, and models.) Karma dreams of being a film producer to showcase diverse stories and bring new voices to the screen. She attends Spelman College in Atlanta, GA, and is pursuing a degree in Documentary Filmmaking and Film Studies.
Karma stays busy with auditions and works as a production and camera assistant. Karma trained at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. Her tenacity and love for acting have landed her roles in commercials, short films, and plays. She stars in the upcoming feature-length film, Lost Nation as Drucilla Prince. You can also see her as Elizabeth in the short film, Colt 45. Karma is the inspiration behind Karma’s World, the animated Netflix series created by Chris “Ludacris” Bridges and now in its fourth.
