Hakim Hill

Hakim Hill's Trinidadian mother named him purposefully so that he wouldn't need a nickname. So to his mother's dismay, he started going by Kimo when he began performing and teaching poetry in Boston. One name just sounded cooler. Like Seal. While working in higher education, he wrote, directed and helped produce a couple of award winning horror and drama short films that revolved around racial trauma, using them to workshop college students. Upon moving to Los Angeles, Kimo participated in the Writer's Mob auxiliary of Leah Daniels-Butler and Henry Butler's production company 1oneninety5 Productions before placing in 2020-21 NBC's Writers on the Verge and 2022 Yes And... Laughter Lab. He is the Staff Writer for Peacock's "HYSTERIA" season one.
