Kemp (Creator/Executive Producer/Showrunner), Omari Hardwick (James ‘Ghost’ St. Patrick), Lela Loren (Angela Valdes), Naturi Naughton (Tasha St. Patrick) and Joseph Sikora (Tommy Egan) during a presentation following an Q and A . Power is a drama television series created and produced by Courtney A. Kemp. Which aired on the Starz network June 7, 2014. The series tells the story of James St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick), a ruthless drug-dealer under the nickname Ghost, who wishes to leave the criminal world in order to support his legitimate business interests as a nightclub owner. James aims to balance these two lives, while avoiding police capture, and looks to resolve his personal life as his marriage crumbles.

This presentation was also a great place to learn more about the hit series Vida. The cast Tanya Saracho (Creator/Executive Producer/Showrunner), Melissa Barrera (Lyn), Mishel Prada (Emma), Ser Anzoategui (Eddy) and Chelsea Rendon (Marisol) all were present to talk about the importance of a this series Vida and why it has become a hit show. Not just in latin community, but world wide. Vida is an American drama television series based on the short story Pour Vida by Richard Villegas Jr. that premiered on May 6, 2018, on Starz.
