OLIVIA KEENAN

Olivia Keenan is a student at the University of Virginia planning to major in Biology and English. 

This young lady discovered her love for writing at a young age because of her mother, who is also a writer. Since then, she has taken up poetry, both on the page and in the performing arts. 

As an African-American woman of mixed race, she finds that poetry has been the best way for her to sift through her thoughts relating to race and racism in America.

Olivia is writing a book of poetry about race, religion, love and identity and we so thrilled to support her.
