Kimba Henderson was born in Detroit into a Navy family and raised in San Diego. She was fascinated by crime at a young age, constantly overhearing her court reporter mom dictate cases in the home. Regaled by these tales of “The Young & The About To Be Incarcerated,” Kimba’s love of storytelling was born. After graduating from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, Kimba moved to Los Angeles where she began her writing career penning docuseries and true crime shows. She loves telling stories about people of color in unexpected places doing unexpected things and recently optioned her international thriller ANOTHER RIVER. In 2021/2022, she was a finalist for the ABC/Disney TV Writing Program and Universal's Screenwriter's Lab. Currently, she is a TV Drama fellow in Fox Entertainment’s Writers Incubator Program.
