About Us
Where Vision, Experience & Creativity Come Together
The Marilyn Bell Agency was built on a legacy of creativity, innovation, and unwavering dedication. At the heart of the agency is Marilyn Bell, a visionary creative director, publisher, and industry leader with more than 25+ years of experience shaping culture, beauty, fashion, media, and lifestyle storytelling.

FOUNDER STORY
Born and raised in Queens, New York, Marilyn carved her path in the creative world long before founding her agency. She spent years behind the scenes as a creative director and editor, producing editorial content, coordinating photoshoots, overseeing publicity, and shaping the voice of major national publications. Her leadership helped transform several hair and beauty magazines into household names — and in 2004, she became part of the historic team that acquired Black Elegance Magazine, making it 100% African American–owned. Marilyn served as both Associate Publisher and Editor in Chief, revitalizing the brand into a powerhouse of style and influence.
Throughout her journey, Marilyn became known for her eye for detail, her passion for visual storytelling, and her ability to bring ideas to life with precision and artistry. These qualities laid the foundation for what would become her greatest venture.

The Real K. Foxx - A Spotlight on Talent, Trailblazing Spirit, and Unstoppable Ambition
K. Foxx is a dynamic media personality whose voice, talent, and authenticity have resonated across some of the nation's most influential platforms. Raised in the vibrant rhythm of New York City, she cultivated her artistic foundation at the prestigious Professional Performing Arts High School in Manhattan, while studying with the world-renowned Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.
Her journey into media began at the historic Shaw University, where she discovered her passion for radio and television. After graduation, she launched her broadcasting career at K97.5 WQOK in Raleigh before being recruited to Miami's iconic 99 Jamz WEDR. Her breakout moment came as co-host of South Florida's number one radio show, "The Takeover," alongside DJ Khaled—an opportunity that catapulted her into national recognition.
K. Foxx's magnetic presence earned her honors such as Best Female Air Personality (Miami New Times) and Best Radio Personality (Broward New Times). She has been highlighted by The Source Magazine as one of the most powerful media personalities in the nation.
Her talent continued to shine as she took on top-rated shifts at stations including:
  • 103.5 The Beat (Miami)
  • 93.3 The Beat Jamz (Jacksonville)
  • 92.3 KIIZ (Texas)
  • WRNB Philadelphia, where she co-hosted The Quincy Harris Morning Show and later launched her own successful midday show, The K. Foxx Show
Recently, K. Foxx expanded her leadership in media as a coach with Dyana Williams' Influence Entertainment—shaping the next generation of talent. Now back on the legendary 99 Jamz, hosting middays from 10–2pm, K. Foxx continues to inspire audiences while uplifting young women through her impactful K. Foxx Princess Project, which provides full prom experiences for graduating seniors.
Her commitment to service extends globally through her ambassador work with the Carma Foundation, supporting marginalized women and children across the Caribbean, South America, Africa, and underserved communities in the U.S.
