Kimberly Holifield is not just a force—she is a movement. With an electric presence and an entrepreneurial spirit that refuses to be boxed in, she has mastered the art of turning passion into empire. From curating high-profile events for brands like Essence Magazine and US Bank to commanding the airwaves as a beloved radio personality, Holifield proves that versatility is her superpower.
From Chicago to Bicoastal Brilliance
What began as a Minneapolis-based event company, Glamlife Events & Parties, has blossomed into a coast-to-coast sensation under Holifield’s leadership. But her ambitions didn’t stop there. She expanded into Atlanta’s competitive market while simultaneously captivating listeners with her shows, “Back in the Day with Glamlife Kim” and “2 Beauties and the Fox.”
The Accidental Radio Star
Holifield’s radio journey reads like fate. After relocating to Atlanta and then returning to Minnesota (partly to support her child’s music career), a serendipitous voiceover for a car dealership caught the attention of KMOJ’s general manager. The next day, she was on air—and the rest is history. Over a decade later, she’s become a Twin Cities staple, navigating industry shifts post-COVID and leveraging social media to deepen audience connections.
Glamlife: Where Magic Meets Meticulous Planning
Holifield’s event philosophy? No two experiences should ever be alike. Whether it’s an introverted teen’s life-changing Sweet 16 or a high-energy corporate soirée, she infuses each gathering with authenticity and flair. “I pride myself on making sure none of my events look the same,” she says.
Breaking Barriers, Building Legacies
As a Black woman in a space often dominated by others, Holifield acknowledges the hurdles but refuses to let them define her. “It’s not who you know—it’s who knows you,” she emphasizes. Through resilience and reputation, she’s carved out a lane where her work speaks volumes.
What’s Next? A Syndicated Future
Holifield’s vision is as expansive as her skill set: She aims to make Glamlife a household name across all 50 states (and beyond) while expanding her radio presence through syndication. Up next? A docuseries, “Girl You Did That,” spotlighting extraordinary women, and the “Lovers and Legends” concert in Minneapolis, featuring R&B heavyweights like Donell Jones and Keke Wyatt.
Her Mantra for Aspiring Moguls
For those looking to diversify their careers, Holifield’s advice is simple yet powerful: “You can do it.” She champions mentorship, urging up-and-comers to ask questions, build relationships, and stay relentless.
Kimberly Holifield isn’t just shaping experiences—she’s shaping culture. And if her track record is any indication, this is only the beginning.
