With 20 years of experience in journalism before transitioning to public relations, ke comms' founder, Kristi Eaton, has a keen eye for what makes a story newsworthy.

In 2017, Kristi received a grant from the International Reporting Project to report and write about menstruation and child marriage in India. A year later, she was selected to be a writer-in-residence for Fistula Foundation, traveling around Zambia documenting women’s stories about their experiences with fistula.
