Kendra started writing in 2nd grade when she was finally tall enough to reach the shelf where her parents kept the comic books. After discovering that she could trade personalised Harry Potter fanfiction for fruit rollups in the middle school cafeteria she decided to see how far this writing thing could take her. Bad fiction segued into an academic career spent watching a lot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer "for research" and critiquing the fantasy worlds and communities she'd over-indulged in as a teen.

Double majoring in Cinema Studies and Anthropology, Kendra graduated from Oberlin College in 2010 and immediately started working in talent management in NYC. When running a blog chronicling her horrible first "real job" experience got boring, she started searching for a writing outlet similar to the ones she'd had in college. That led to a position as the lead Television Correspondent with Racialicious.com (the foremost blog about the intersection of race and pop culture on the web) beginning in 2011. Her writing has been referenced by Gawker, Jezebel, Clutch Magazine, The Root, The Atlantic Wire, and The New York Times.

In addition to writing, she also carries the truly burdensome responsibility of covering NYC based media events for the site. In 2012 they forced her to report from New York Comic Con, and are likely to ship her out to San Diego Comic Con during the coming summer.

When not furiously tweeting feelings about this week's Scandal, you can find Kendra writing the occasional television pilot, or talking about her Star Trek: Deep Space 9 obsession, the torrent of feelings that ensued after she spent the summer doing nothing but watching Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman, her critiques of certain former classmates, and her deep love of teenage werewolves and vampires who don't hail from Washington State.
