power of perception writers Kristen Rogers

Kristen Rogers has always had a passion for writing, but found her calling in poetry at the age of 14. Since then, Rogers has written poetry as a way to cope with the everyday trials and tribulations that we face in our lives. Rogers’ poetry centers around her life, friends, family, experiences, things she is passionate about, or that spark her interest. In November, she released her first book of poetry entitled ‘Kristen’s Diary’ that is available for purchase on Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com. Kristen’s Diary chronicles Rogers’ life, and tells a story of heartache, triumph, and perseverance that everyone can relate to. In addition to writing poetry, Rogers has also written for blackgirldangerous.org about her experience as a bisexual black woman, as well as help start a business called the Black Excellence Network. Kristen Rogers is a 2nd year graduate student at Adler University in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program in Chicago, IL. Her plans after graduating include finding work in consultation, and starting a PhD program in public policy. She is passionate about the #BlackLivesMatter movement, LGBTQ rights, and reproductive rights. Her hope is to use her platform as an artist and business owner to speak out against inequality in our society.
