Kahshanna Evans
Senior Level Community Building Communications Strategist + Founder @ Kissing Lions Public Relations + ForbesBLK Member
Kahshanna Evans is a marketing communications, public relations, branding, and creative strategy leader with more than a decade of experience helping organizations, founders, and brands build visibility, credibility, and meaningful audience relationships. She has excelled in both in-house leadership and consulting environments, bringing strategic perspective and hands-on execution to nonprofits, foundations, startups, cultural institutions, hospitality, wellness, social impact, and purpose-driven organizations.
Her expertise spans integrated communications, media relations, executive positioning, brand strategy, storytelling, content development, experiential communications, corporate citizenship, stakeholder engagement, and reputation management. She is particularly skilled at translating complex ideas into compelling narratives and creating communications ecosystems that connect brand, audience, organizational purpose, and measurable impact.
Kahshanna brings a multidisciplinary perspective shaped by more than two decades across fashion, film, television, entertainment, communications, hospitality, wellness, public health, and social impact. This range allows her to recognize opportunities across industries and bring a sophisticated understanding of culture, audience psychology, creative production, and evolving media landscapes to every engagement.
Her work includes national and international media relations, executive thought leadership, major cultural and experiential events, organizational rebranding, public-facing campaigns, and communications infrastructure. She has worked with mission-driven organizations as well as emerging businesses and brands, and is known for combining high-level strategy with the ability to move projects from concept through execution.
Kahshanna is also increasingly focused on the role communications can play in corporate citizenship, community engagement, and responsible business practices. Her approach incorporates a trauma-informed perspective where relevant, informed by her role as a Legacy Member of the New York State Trauma Informed Network and Resource Center, while remaining grounded in practical communications and organizational strategy.
As the founder of Kissing Lions Public Relations, a W/MBE-certified consultancy, she brings an entrepreneurial perspective to every partnership. She is also experienced in ethical applications of AI for research, communications intelligence, content development, and strategic planning—using emerging technologies to enhance human judgment rather than replace it.
Across engagements, Kahshanna is recognized for strategic rigor, creative range, cultural intelligence, and a relational approach that helps organizations not simply communicate more effectively, but build stronger brands, deeper trust, and lasting impact.
