Hi, I’m Kalaina Benson-Connor, a proud New Orleans native, wife, mom, and grandma. I’m a graduate of Jackson State and Tulane University and an active supporter of youth athletics—especially cheering on my high school athlete in basketball and track.

I love dancing, reading, outdoor adventures, and sparking meaningful conversations through podcasts and radio. I’m a joyful spirit with a hidden talent for comedy, a passion for cooking, and a heart for uplifting others. Guided by faith, I embrace life—flaws and all.
