Kiesa Kay
Kiesa Kay, poet and playwright, learned the art of storytelling from her mother, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers. She found fairy tales and creation myths in boxes of books from an auction. Her works have been performed in venues in seven states, including Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, Berea College in Kentucky, and La Mama Experimental Theater in New York City. Kiesa penned her memoir, Tornado Alley, in her writing retreat in the south of France. She recently created a video series on Transforming Trauma through Creative Expression. She loves stories that build strength. Kiesa leads writing workshops and has mentored 12 writers in bringing their books from concept to completion.
