Kathy Najimy

We know her for her hilarious comedy in over 20 films, including the blockbusters Sister Act and Sister Act 2; her award-winning roles as an actor, writer, and producer, having brought “The Kathy and Mo Show” from the theater to television; and as the voice of “Peggy Hill” in King of the Hill. But there is much more talent brimming beneath the surface of actress Kathy Najimy.

As the Ms. Magazine Woman of the Year, she has been called a “social action hero.” Always on the frontlines of progressive social causes, she is driven by her own desire to see all living things treated equitably: “First and foremost, I’m a feminist. And basically that stems from a strong belief that all people and creatures deserve equal opportunity, rights, and respect.”

A dynamic force, she has been a vocal supporter of women’s rights. Speaking out against sexism and racism, she shares an idealism that we are all equal, connected by our sense of common humanity. An inspiration to anyone who believes in making a difference, Najimy has led the way for AIDS activism for 20 years and was awarded the PETA Humanitarian of the Year Award, presented by Sir Paul McCartney.

Delightful and warm, Kathy Najimy shares her message with candor and refreshing humor. Her belief in social justice and advocacy encourages audiences to work toward making the world a better place.
