Provisional Spotlight Kathryn (Kathy) Davis

By: Hayden Pigott

Tell us about yourself.

I am a wife and mother of grown twin daughters and a son who is a senior at Winston-Salem State University. I am originally from Chicago and moved to Waxhaw 12 years ago from Ft. Myers, Florida. I retired from the Department of Defense, working as a Contract Specialist, Pricing Analyst and Administrator for 19 years in McKinney, Texas. One of the things I loved about my job was the ability to effect change via negotiations on contracts. I’m the owner of Stitchwork by Design, Gotta Travel Planner and founder of Kcreates Memoriez (YouTube) channel. I love to learn and share different things like Chicago Stepping, Detroit ballroom dance and swing dance. The real goal of the channel was to get my husband to learn how to dance. I can’t say that it worked, but I absolutely love to dance. Because I believe in making memories, YouTube has been a great way to share some of my experiences. Now I just need to enhance my creativity. My husband would say I am a jack of many trades. Some of my passions are jazz/ R&B concerts, movies, dining out, traveling, touring and experiencing life.

What made you want to join the JLC?

Learning about the Junior League was very enlightening. I believe in philanthropy and giving back. Growing up volunteering in Girl Scouts, Big Brothers, Big Sisters and becoming a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. have all led me to become more involved in my community. However, what I love about the JLC is the networking, training/development and the community volunteer opportunities offered to include Classroom Central, Bright Blessings, Renaissance West and many others!

What are you most looking forward to in the JLC this year?

A sense of connection with like-minded ladies who share the same values. Networking and developing genuine friendships that are lifelong.

What are your favorite Charlotte restaurants?

Link and Pin (love the Spicy Cauliflower), Nana Soulfood, Cajun Dog or any place with good chicken.
