KENYA WASHINGTON

Picture
Kenya is the second of three children. She was born in Chicago, Illinois and migrated to Arizona after graduating Junior High. Kenya has always been an exceptional student with a real love for reading and writing. For as far back as her mom could remember Kenya was always writing short stories that would leave teachers amazed at the eloquence and detail coming from such a young student.

After many years of being encouraged to complete a proper story by many friends, family members, and teachers, Kenya was inspired to write a story that she hoped most teenagers could relate to. Kenya’s goal for writing was to fill the gap of YA genre books of either being too unrealistic and unrelatable or just too boring and simple. “I want to write books for teens like me that want a perfect happy ending, but also want a roller coaster of emotions to get to that point. That’s what real life is like,” Kenya says. 
​
Kenya continues to write, play violin and enjoy many other extracurricular activities with her sisters. She contributes a lot of her success to the encouragement from her grandmother, Mary Ferguson who would constantly tell her, “Do your Best!”. While Back & Forth is only their debut novel, her desire is to write many more.
