Black Woman Grown

THIS COLLECTION OF AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL SHORT STORIES, ESSAYS, POETRY AND A PLAY ALL FOLLOW THE THEME OF HOW KISHA-THAT YOUNG BLACK GIRL FROM "CHILDISH", GREW TO BECOME THE BLACK WOMAN THE WORLD NOW CALLS KISHALYNN.

BOTH FANS OF CHILDISH AND NEW READERS WHO JOIN THE JOURNEY HERE FIRST WILL ENJOY THESE EMOTIONAL, AND AT TIMES, HILARIOUS TALES AS SHE NAVIGATES HBCU COLLEGE LIFE, THE CHURCH, SEXUALITY, AND THE TRANSITION INTO ADULTHOOD AND OUT OF THE CLOSET. EVERY READER WILL SEE THEMSELVES IN KISHALYNN'S STORIES, AND RECEIVE THE HEALING THAT SHE IS SHARING IN THEM WITH SUCH VULNERABILITY.

AS WITH HER PREVIOUS BOOK, "CHILDISH", READERS CAN EXPECT "BLACK WOMAN GROWN" TO BE A RAW AND HONEST DEPICTION OF HER EXPERIENCES, DROPPING INTO MOMENTS IN A WAY THAT DELIGHTS THE SENSES AND IMMERSES EVERY READER IN HER STORIES.

ELLIOTT HAS A GIFT FOR VIVIDLY DESCRIBING HER MEMORIES AND EMOTIONS. READERS CAN ANTICIPATE THAT THIS BOOK WILL BE ANOTHER PAGE-TURNER THAT MOVES THEM BETWEEN TEARS AND CHEERS ON THIS JOURNEY OF SELF-DISCOVERY.
