Meet Kaila: Black Film & TV Editor at Comcast
Kaila is the Black Film & TV Editor for the Xfinity X1, Stream and Flex platforms. She lives in Nashville, TN and oversees the scheduling, programming, and maintaining of Black Film & TV, which now includes the Black Voices. Black Stories destination.
Kaila's Comcast JourneyMy journey at Comcast started in 2015 after receiving my M.S. in Television Management from Drexel University. I started off doing editorial programming for the Multicultural destination on X1. I programmed content for a variety of customer bases including African American, International, and Asian American. After my first year the Black Film & TV destination was officially launched and I now manage all of the editorial in that space including movies, shows, music, podcasts, and web content. As an Xfinity Editor I also have the pleasure of being a part of Xfinity Hangouts, a series of on-camera celebrity interviews that connect our customers to the stars they love. I’ve had the amazing opportunity to sit down and chat with celebs about their upcoming shows, hobbies, and everyday life. I feel like my journey is just now beginning and I’m looking forward to what the future will bring!

Memorable Moments with Comcast
One of the key moments that I’ll never forget is traveling with my team to the American Black Film Festival in Miami. We are able to mingle and chat with real Xfinity customers and bring awareness to Black Film & TV. It wasn’t until after that experience that I truly realized how much of an impact my work has on customers and how they view the Xfinity brand.
Typical Day
Favorite Celebrity InterviewMy favorite celebrity interview so far has been with the one and only Spike Lee. We talked about his new movie Da 5 Bloods, happenings in the black community, his favorite era of music, and more. We had an amazing conversation and he even left me with encouraging words of wisdom. He’s the best!
