Kay’s Kettle Corn

What's POPPIN!!

Khadijah "Kay" Polly is the owner and POPrietor of Kay’s Kettle Corn, a gourmet popcorn company based out of Houston, TX. She is a speaker,a food business coach, an author and the founder of POPCORN CEO's (Children's Economic Opportunities program).  

Khadijah was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, she is a graduate of Grambling State University, a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. and a member of the Douglas L. Williams Alumni Chapter.

Khadijah has always had an entrepreneurial spirit. She had her first business selling handmade beaded bracelets at 10 years old on Santa Monica Beach called "Beach Beads Plus". In 2012 Khadijah  started Kay’s Kettle Corn while working as a full-time corporate recruiter. On her 33rd birthday in the summer of 2014 she decided to take a leap of faith (literally, She went sky diving). That was the day she decided to live fearlessly and MAKE HER DREAMS POP! She set the plan in motion to leave her job and take Kay’s Kettle corn to the next level. In October of 2014 She quit her job and with tons of hard work, support of my family, friends and sorority sisters it’s been POPPIN ever since.

What is it like to be a female boss and how do you keep things "poppin?"

Being a female boss feels like everyday is the first day of school and mid terms all at the same time.. Its exciting and I always feel like I'm studying for a test that I must pass in order to make it to the end of the semester,  but the end of the semester never comes. I keep things poppin by being innovative and trying to incorporate current trends in social media/ pop culture to market my products.
