Kathy D. Champion Woods is a woman of faith and a devoted wife who has been married to Dana for 27 years this August, and the proud mother of Dana Michael Woods Jr. who is autistic. Kathy is a former caregiver with a passion for looking after the elderly. She's the first African-American to create a fashion line for little people and is also the CEO of Grace 4 Champions, a nonprofit organization that assists schools and families with students who have autism and other disabilities, as well as individuals who may need a hand up when funding is available.

Kathy believes giving is living. Kathy's dream is to tell untold stories along with her husband, Dana, through their production company. Kathy has the presence of someone who stands six feet tall, which is often misinterpreted. To know her is to love her.

Dana Michael Woods is a man of faith, married to Kathy and father to Dana Michael Woods Jr. And he has been working professionally for over 25 years as an actor and stunt double. During that time, Dana has worked on many projects, including film, television, and stage, portraying a variety of characters. He's had the pleasure of working with such megastars as David Schwimmer, Denzel Washington, and Glenn Close. He believes being an artist of unique size, that it's worth the challenge that entertainment industry presents and wants to change Hollywood's perception of performers that just happen to be little people due to a lack of roles that are not written for actors of short stature.

Dana and Kathy established Woods Family 3 Productions, developing projects of substance that bring stories to life through their experiences and highlight performers with different physicalities. Having said that, Dana and Kathy have recently completed a pilot for a one-hour drama series with Dana in mind as the lead and are seeking funding with the hope of partnering with a major production company or studio. Dana's dream is to work with the one and only Tyler Perry.
