The internet isn't just creating influencers... it's creating the next generation of television talent.

After years of building her audience, creating opportunities for herself, and betting on her own platform, Kendra G is taking her talents to OWN as the host of the network's new dating series, 'Dating Download.'

Kendra recently took to instagram to share the news and quite honestly... It's another reminder that in today's media landscape, your biggest opportunity might just start with pressing "live." 🖤
