Tige Charity holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Oral Roberts University and an MBA in Nonprofit Management from American Jewish University. She has been a fellow in the prestigious City Scholars Fellowship Foundation’s CEO Leadership Program since 2017 and a member of the Women Presidents Organization since 2021.

In May 2009, Charity founded Kids in the Spotlight, Inc. (KITS), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing youth in foster care with an outlet and platform for storytelling and filmmaking as a means of healing. Starting with zero funding, she grew the organization to an operating budget of over $2,500,000. In January 2023, she launched the KITS Production Studio with Purpose in Van Nuys, CA. A unique, full-service production studio that offers rentals to industry professionals and connects youth aging out of foster care to jobs in the entertainment industry through its workforce development program, creating income opportunities that drive positive outcomes.

Charity is the dynamic host of Leaders In The Spotlight, a compelling podcast where top C-Suite leaders share their experiences, insights, and tools, offering valuable solutions to the challenges faced by both seasoned and aspiring leaders. In her inspiring book, Not Your 9-to-5 Girl, available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, Charity chronicles her personal journey of overcoming discrimination, rejection, and self-doubt to walking in purpose. This transformative experience motivated her to become a social entrepreneur and establish Kids in the Spotlight, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering youth through the arts.
