“The older I get,” muses Kat, “the more I realize being a powerful women is less about being good looking and popular, but being strong and empowering because that’s what makes a women powerful 
and sexy.”
“As a performer it goes the same way,” Kat adds. “Be you, be strong, be provocative and that will be the thing that makes you sexy, not the glitter, feathers or big hair.”
