Kionne Nicole
Outstanding Debut Author in LGBT Literature 2015
Kionne Nicole began writing short stories and poems at the age of seven. 'Kionne Nicole' is actually a pen name that the author created as a child. "Retaining the name is a way for me to honor my childhood," she explains, "and a way for me to carry on something that has always been inside me."
To deal with the stress of unemployment in late 2009, Kionne began to write her first novel, The Space Our Love Demands. The novel mirrors aspects of her personal relationships and explores real thoughts and emotions of young, African American lesbian-identified college students. "I think it's important for us to tell our own stories the way we want to," she says.
Kionne Nicole is a native of Drummonds, TN. She is currently a full-time graduate student and Marriage and Family Therapist in training.
