ZORIA B. KENGOCHA

Writing has always been her haven for her imagination, whether creating short stories or poetry. She believes in creating something beautiful with just a pen and paper.

She was surrounded by a variety of literature From fantasy fiction like Percy Jackson to Shakespeare’s classics such as Macbeth. She released her first poetry collection (e-book) “FruitBasket” which tackled grief, teenage woes, loss, and the beauty of heartbreak. She believes that poetry is way beyond cutesy words with a rhyming scheme on a piece of paper.
