Who is Kathy Forbes?
Ohhhh. This is a good question. Good luck to those who seek this answer in themselves. To quote one of the many Sunday School songs I learned as a kid: "I am a Promise. I am a Possibility. I am a Promise with a capital P. I am a great big bundle of Potentiality...I am a promise to be anything God wants me to be". (shout out to the Gaithers for this song). That's truth you know...If there's one thing about me that I can say is set in stone, it's that I'm totally at the mercy and grace of God. So I firstly see myself as a follower of Christ. All that follows this is--I'm a daughter, a sister, a sister-in-law, an aunt, a cousin, a niece, a friend for those that I meet, a day-dreamer, a TV addict, a movie enthusiast, a filmmaker, an aspiring actress, a nature lover, a long-distance runner, a fashion junkie, a girl with expensive taste, a funny face...

What I bring to the Sauce?
I've got questions and some answers...I'm good at making people feel like they're better than me, thus giving them the confidence to perform well for the camera or a live audience. I'm also good at asking for tech help from Adam Ennis...And I'm good at collaborating and telling stories at the same time--I'm like a juggler with chain saws.
