Kinya Clairborne is an award-winning content creator and the founder and editor-in-chief of STYLE & SOCIETY Magazine. Not only is she an amazing example of how to transition from corporate girlie to full-time influencer, but she’s also managed to heavily diversify her brand and work with big names like Honda, Macy’s, and L’Oreal.
