Fruit Punch by Kendra Allen

 


Title: Fruit Punch
Author: Kendra Allen
Genre: Memoir, Black Writers

Storytelling is powerful because not only does it make it difficult to ignore reality, it connects us. Imagine a life without a default experience; where everyone believed there is value in all our stories. Kendra Allen is a young Black girl growing up in Texas in the late 1990s and early 2000s, telling her coming of age story - in her way. Her conversationalist tone describing her turbulent, yet loving upbringing grabs hold of you and guides you down a poetic spiral that you can’t help but connect to.
