Kathryn Mora was born in Los Angeles and recently returned to the West Coast from Boston. She is a freelance writer/journalist who has written in-depth feature stories on a variety of subjects that include Nollywood, the African film industry, multicultural children’s publishers, 1934 experimental bi-planes, writers of asylum, and natural childbirth.

She received her B.A. from California State University, Northridge in Journalism with an English minor and presented with the 1994 Society of Professional Journalist Most Outstanding Senior Award.

Currently she is working on her childhood memoir, a screenplay, and plans to make a second documentary film about natural childbirth. Spreading the word about natural childbirth is one of her passions.

Many years ago she performed as Katrina, the clown, taught and performed stand-up-comedy, and created and performed comedic characters that included, Dr. Gwendolyn Baumgartner, a virginal psychologist who was a relationship specialist.

In another life Kathryn lived on 80 acres with her two sons and a man she planned to marry (but fortunately decided not to after all), and was a certified childbirth educator and labor coach (doula) in Trinity County, California, near the Oregon border.
