Hey Kevin, welcome! You’ve become a recognizable name in the creator space with CherryBabes, and now you’re helping guide the conversation at OFI as an Advisory Board member. Can you share a bit about your journey, what inspired CherryBabes, and what drives you to spotlight creators?
Hey Lila. Thanks for having me. Yes. So, my journey into the creator space started back in 2018 or 2019, when a close friend of mine—a single mother and talented photographer—introduced me to OnlyFans. Watching her build her audience and navigate the challenges of content creation opened my eyes to both the opportunities and the struggles that creators face.
I’ve been an entrepreneur for more than 25 years, having started over a dozen businesses, and mentoring has always been at the heart of what I do. CherryBabes was born out of the desire to combine that experience with a genuine passion for helping creators thrive.
What drives me is simple. I believe creators deserve to be seen, supported, and celebrated for their individuality.
Well, that rolls right into my next question. Collaboration seems to be at the heart of Cherry Babes. From @nursejoolz’s heartfelt story to @bri_stasia’s bubbly personality and @erikka.divine’s powerful voice—you’ve brought such a range of talent to OFI. How do you decide who to work with, and what do you look for in a creator?
Collaboration is key. For me, it always starts with a conversation. I want to understand who the creator is, what drives them, and what they need to move forward. I look for authenticity, openness, and a spark of individuality—something that makes their voice stand out.
I rarely turn people away because I see collaboration as an opportunity for growth. Sometimes that means helping them share their story, sometimes it’s offering mentorship, and other times it’s connecting them with a platform like OFI.
Ultimately, I trust my intuition and focus on relationships built on respect and support.

Let’s talk results. Those seven creators you connected us with have seen over 118,000 article reads combined. What kind of feedback have you received from them about being featured in the magazine? How do you see press coverage helping creators grow?
The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Creators love that the articles give their fans a chance to connect with them beyond the surface level of posts and clips. Fans get to learn their stories, hear their challenges, and see their personalities shine through.
Press coverage builds credibility, but more importantly, it builds connection.
When fans feel closer to a creator, they’re far more likely to support them—not just financially, but emotionally and loyally. That’s the real value of features like these.
That's a great observation. Sharing details builds loyalty. You’re sitting at an interesting intersection—community-builder, collaborator, and advisor. What conversations with Joseph, Ryder, or myself have sparked ideas about where Cherry Babes or the creator community could go next?
What I love about my conversations with the OFI team is that they’re always forward-looking. We talk not just about trends but about possibilities—how creators can expand their visibility, diversify their income, and build lasting businesses.
One theme that’s come up is how important mentorship and community are. Creators don’t just need promotion; they need guidance, tools, and peers who understand their journey.
That’s where I see Cherry Babes Mentorship and OFI aligning. Building ecosystems of support, not just platforms.

Yes. Absolutely! Community and support over, platform. I love this. Now, we know the adult creator economy often focuses on “what sells,” but Cherry Babes feels more like a celebration of authenticity, individuality, and connection. How do you balance curating for visibility while still protecting that authenticity?
For me, authenticity is non-negotiable. Visibility matters, but it has to be rooted in who the creator truly is. My role is to help them amplify their voice, not change it.
I draw from my background as a mentor and life coach—helping people balance business growth with personal truth.
If a creator feels pressured to be something they’re not, the connection won’t last. But when they lead with their authentic self, visibility becomes a natural extension of their uniqueness.
Well, I know that you and Joseph can talk for hours. Before we go, do you have any tips for creators? Or models who might be wondering how to benefit from platforms like OFI, or how to position themselves for more visibility through collaboration—what advice would you give them? And where can people find and follow Cherry Babes?
My biggest piece of advice is, know your brand and embrace your individuality. Don’t be afraid to tell your story.
Tools like OFI are invaluable because they let you do that in a deeper, more personal way than a quick post ever could.
Collaboration is also key.
When creators support one another, share audiences, and lift each other up, everyone wins.
And of course—show up consistently, engage authentically, and treat your content as the business it is.
