MP: Would you say TONL is your greatest accomplishment?
KO: Yes, for the simple fact that I was but one decision away from not doing it. As successful as The Sorority Secrets was, I felt like we were not showing imagery of a diverse group of women — because we couldn't find it. I reached out to Joshua Kissi with the idea [for TONL] with the hope that he would do it, not me. I was already at capacity; I already had other businesses, and I just didn't have the bandwidth. He said he wouldn't do it unless I did it with him, and so we literally went seven to nine months just not doing it.
[Joshua] came back to me [in the midst of] many killings in the black community, specifically Philando Castile and Alton Sterling. He was like, "What better time than now to change the narrative of our communities?" That decision to move forward has been a blessing, and it's my biggest accomplishment.
