Courtney A. Kemp (Power creator and executive producer) and The Matchmaking Duo

Yes, Girl! - June 29, 2017

Long before Courtney A. Kemp created one of TV’s most addictive series, Power, she was a lowly magazine writer with much bigger aspirations than typing up celebrity Q&As. But when she had an opportunity to write about her own life coupled with the death of her father, the experience made starting her scriptwriting career a priority. As Power, which she created and executive produces, enters its fourth season, Kemp shares what motivates her, what’s next for her leading man Ghost and how she works alongside co-executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. The Matchmaking Duo returns to explain exactly what happens when you hire a professional matchmaker and how they hold your hand on the road to love.
