I earned my J.D. with a Certificate in Law and Business from Vanderbilt Law and my B.A. from Vanderbilt University. I graduated from the University with a double major in English and History Interdisciplinary Studies and minors in each of Philosophy, Film Studies, and Spanish.

I leverage my research-heavy educational background in my writing - frequently travelling the Deep South to collect and preserve the stories and perspectives of African-American elders. As a result, the worlds I construct are steeped in Black culturo-spiritual perspectives.

"Kez Calhoun" is the pseudonym I write under.
