Karen Civil... you likely already know the name. This Alpha Female is a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry. She is an entrepreneur, a brilliant speaker and a philanthropist. Karen’s success in global marketing and content creation has provided this queen with commanding influence in culture and has bridged the gap between brand powerhouses and mainstream artists.
Climbing to the Media Apex
Karen Civil first developed an interest in the impact of social media when she began bolstering online communities via a fan site for the best selling boy band of all time, The Backstreet Boys. This passion would soon evolve into a profession when she landed an internship with HOT 97’s DJ Funkmaster Flex. Karen’s expertise allowed Flex’s online presence to explode, and she continued to successfully unite hip-hop with digital media by shaping artists brands.
Karen established herself as a reputable and necessary player in the entertainment world and gained momentum to launch along with @AlwaysCivil Enterprise. This “Civilized foundation" provided a digital platform for exclusive interviews, entertainment and music news and artist growth. She was named Digital Marketing Director for Beats by Dre, and later used her marketing skills to cultivated unprecedented branding partnerships with giants
like Nike, Louis Vuitton, AT&T, Verizon, Fashion Nova, Toyota, and many more. Her achievements have been publicly recognized with awards from The National Black Public Relations Society, the Next Innovator Award, Black Enterprise Social Influencer Award, MTV’s HipHop MVP Award, and more.
Philanthropic Endeavors
Far greater than any of her titles or awards, Karen Civil is a humanitarian. The @LiveCivil outreach specifically seeks to benefit children, women of color and Haiti. Karen is of Haitian descent, and Haiti is very special to her. She founded the Live Civil school and playground there in 2015. But her desire to uplift others did not end there. In true Alpha Female fashion, Karen self-published her first book, “Be You & Live Civil: Tools for Unlocking Your Potential & Living Your Purpose.” The book is meant to build awareness of the Live Civil brand and to provide the reader with the necessary tools for empowerment and entrepreneurship. For these reasons and so many more, Karen Civil truly embodies all that it means to be an Alpha Female.
