KETURAH HAMILTON

Tell everyone who you are and what you do. My name is Keturah Hamilton. I was born in Jamaica West Indies. I am the only girl out of five kids. I began my career as a model in New York City and am now an actress who resides in LA.

How would you define your purpose?

To be of service to others. to spread love, and to be selfless.

Let’s talk about “Nanny” and the motivation behind the film.

Yes, let’s talk about Nanny. It was an honor and privilege to be directed by the beautiful and talented Nikyatu Jusu. As an actor it is so thrilling when you get a role that’s juicy, to be on a set where the director looks like you and tells a story that’s relatable especially to foreigners who left their country to seek a better life for their children. How ironic that I returned to New York where it all started to not only shoot “Nanny”, but an episode of the TV series “New Amsterdam”.

What has been one of your most memorable moments in your career?

Wow, when I was nominated by Broadway World for best featured actress in a play “The Motherf**ker with the Hat” by Stephen Adly Guirgis. Just being nominated was a big win for me. I know you said one, but I have to share my experience as a presenter at the Trumpet Awards. That feeling will never leave me. I was in the presence of Civil rights icon and founder of the Trumpet Awards, Xernona Clayton. I learned what the late doctor Martin Luther King taught her about love. We are beyond black excellence.

What are some goals you want to accomplish in the next three years?

“A goal without a plan is just a dream”. I want to continue to advance my thriving career, expand my scholarship program, and build sports centers in Jamaica and Africa.

Tell us one fun fact about yourself. Lots of fun facts LoL. I’ll leave you with two facts. I love to cook, and I laugh at my own jokes before I finish telling them.

Let’s talk about the Keturah Hamilton Foundation and how it all got started.

The Keturah Hamilton Foundation is a Non-profit organization whose primary focus is to make a difference in People’s lives through education. KHF all started because I was raised by my late stepdad who was a giver. I grew up seeing how selfless he was, and I wanted to follow in his footsteps to honor him and to also live my God’s given purpose.

What advice can you give to the next generation of female leaders?

My advice is to stay true to who you are, work hard, stay focused by keeping your eyes on the prize and surround yourself with greatness.

Are you working on any new projects or upcoming events?

Yes, a pilot called “Starlets” that’s being pitched for a TV series. I am also writing my anthology about some of my mishaps and my way of coping through it all. “My Prerogative” is set to be released in September of 2023 by Gatekeeper Press.
