Karlton T. Clay has always loved to write and be creative since he was a young child, graduating from Davidson Fine Arts School in 2004 and from Georgia State University in 2008 with a bachelor’s degree in film and television production.

Karlton began VICTORY PRODUCTIONS during his bout with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2002 and produced and directed his first theatrical production in 2003. Under Victory Productions, Karlton has written, produced, and directed several theatre productions, short films, 17 series, with the latest being Karlton’s World and The Loved And The Heartless, and 18 feature-length films, which can be streamed on Peacock, the CW app, Tubi, Amazon Prime, Roku, and more.

Karlton is also the author of a 4-book series entitled As The Earth Spins, which was published by Expand Knowledge and is available at Lulu.com, and 3 poetry books: Ebbs & Flows (2020), Raw-N-UnKut (2022), and I Am Me (2024), which are also available as EPs under the moniker KayCee Thee Poet on all digital platforms. In 2023, Karlton released Titan Warriors: The Alignment Of Power and his comic book series, CHOSEN.

Karlton is the producer and the host for the Celebrating Black Excellence 365 segment at WJBF News Channel 6, and the creator, host, and executive producer of the Telly Award talk show THE KULTURE, which streams on WJBF6+ on Roku TV, Firestick, Apple TV, and Samsung TV devices.

In everything he does, Karlton hopes to remain true to who he is and be a beacon of hope that inspires others to follow their dreams. His motto: Grow as you go, which springs from his favorite scripture, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)
