Kira Henderson discovered her love for poetry when she found a collection of Nikki Giovanni's works on the shelf of her Middle School library. She immersed herself in the readings of Nikki, Maya, Langston and every other Black American poet she could find. The day she picked up a pen and wrote her very first poem her world would be forever changed. Kira writes poetry that challenges the readers thought process with her clever metaphors and battles the heart with her passionate outlook on love.
