One that is full of love, kindness, compassion, and grace while pursuing the call on their lives with enthusiasm, passion, and persistence in spite of all the resistance, oppression, obstacles, and challenges that they may face in this life. She is an East Saint Louis native, a woman after God’s own heart, and a lover of His people. Being a part of families who are lifetime learners has influenced her life in a major way. Kenytha is currently pursuing her graduate degree from Washington University in Saint Louis, where she previously graduated with her Bachelor of Science in Psychological & Brain Sciences, Certificate in Forensic Psychology, and Creative Writing.

He creates poems that you can call home, providing somewhere you can fall apart or fall together whichever suits your soul. Join the journey.
