The Worry Wags by Kiki Pape is a fun and heartfelt story that raises awareness about children's anxiety and mental health. It provides a comforting, relatable resource for parents and kids, promoting emotional well-being through an engaging and uplifting tale.

A Detroit girl with a laptop and way too many open tabs. Kiki Pape LLC is where I turn creative chaos into clean copy — writing for brands, building newsletters on Mailchimp, ghostwriting stories, and managing the words that make people stop scrolling.

I also run my own blogs about writing, city life, and the creative mess behind it all. Every project — whether it’s a brand launch or a blog post — is a new way to say something that matters (and sounds good while doing it).

Not Your Average Fan

What started as early morning tears and frozen fingers at the Thanksgiving game turned into a lifelong love letter to Detroit. Growing up as a season ticket holder, I didn’t always get the hype — the chaos, the cold, the heartbreak. But somewhere between the Fireball shots, Motown hums, and Jared Goff chants, I realized it was never just about football.

It’s about family, loyalty, and showing up — even when it’s freezing, even when we’re losing. This story isn’t just about a team; it’s about a city that loves hard, stands tall, and proves year after year that hope is its own kind of victory.

Attending TEDxDetroit as a guest felt less like an event and more like stepping into a room where ideas actually have somewhere to go. The kind of space where people speak in conviction, not volume, and you leave thinking differently than when you walked in. It sharpened my instinct for storytelling that carries weight, not just noise, and reminded me that the right rooms don’t just inspire you, they quietly expect something from you too.

Attending the Lululemon Rochester holiday event as a content creator meant moving with intention—capturing the in-between moments, the energy, the feeling people don’t always know how to articulate.

It wasn’t just about documenting a night; it was about translating a brand experience into something that lives beyond it. The kind of work where you’re both in the moment and slightly outside of it, already shaping the story as it unfolds.

Writing for Rochester City Lifestyle gives me a place to turn curiosity into stories that feel personal, thoughtful, and true to the people behind them.

I love getting to step into someone else’s world, ask the right questions, and find the details that make their story feel alive. As part of the Style Edition, I get to bring my own voice into the mix while continuing to grow as a writer and storyteller.
