In this episode, Kat shares her story about how a personal tragedy turned by losing her brother by suicide, which lead to her life's mission, as she steps into her purpose and fights for an end to gun crime in the US. Kat was born in Ocean City, New Jersey, and has lived briefly in West Germany as well as various parts of the United States. Her first loves were singing and drawing, and she modeled briefly in her late teens and early twenties. Unable to complete her degree in Fine Arts, she worked in many assistant roles over a span of 25 years until she became unemployed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. With her own #MeToo story and as a suicide and gun violence survivor (her brother Ryan was lost to suicide by gun in 2009), Kat founded Katseye Innovative LLC in 2020 to give back to the world through her music, writing, and art.  While helping her son Aidan who is on the Autism Spectrum navigate distance learning, Kat used her time in isolation to tap into her creative gifts of singing and songwriting and released “Broken Moon” and its video in November of 2020. Fifty percent of net proceeds go to organizations working to stop gun violence and raise awareness for better mental health and suicide prevention. Kat is currently illustrating a children’s book she authored with plans for release through Carnelian Moon Publishing in 2021. This project’s philanthropic focus will be on autism. She continues to work on her singing, songwriting, and activism and resides in Minnetonka, Minnesota with her amazing son Aidan and Garfield, their lovable, mischievous feline companion.
