Kari Kenyatta

Season 2023, Ep. 61

Published with assistance from BePublished.org in December 2022, Kari’ Kenyatta's literary debut (BLACK DIAMOND: Unbreakable) is a poignant autobiography that candidly details lived experiences including childhood trauma, teen pregnancy, and domestic violence. A difficult work that pulls at your heart, readers are refreshed by empowering undertones that culminate into a story just as inspirational as it is tragic.


A Tennessee native and Texas resident, Kari’ Kenyatta is an avid reader who decided years ago to release her main story after being urged by those close to stopping fighting the need to tell her story. It only took a matter of months for her to finally finish after she started revealing what she had hidden from loved ones for years, once she found the courage.


“This is probably the scariest thing I've ever done,” the owner of four businesses confesses. “But I know I need to get this story out! I have to get it out because I know someone else is here. I want them to know they can be free of the burdens too by just letting it go, all of it, and allowing themselves time to recover.”


Kenyatta will soon host a “Roll-Out Party” in Tennessee in March. Those pre-ordering books through March 5, 2023, may pick up their pre-autographed copies as VIPs during the “Read It & Eat” event. This VIP status allows readers to skip the line of those purchasing books and receiving autographs onsite. Event attendees are encouraged to RSVP via the Contact form at KariKenyatta.com while visiting the site to purchase their autographed hardcover and paperback copies.


During the “Read It & Eat” gathering at Broadway Social, guests must pay for their own books if they have not already pre-ordered them (in addition to paying for their own meals or beverages if they choose to dine with the author and celebrants). This Tennessee dinner party will take place in Maryville from 5p-8p on 03/11/23 at 102 E. Harper Avenue, 37804. And since Broadway Social is known for having the best wings in the area, you will definitely want to try those!


Available as a Kindle ebook worldwide, BLACK DIAMOND: Unbreakable by Kari’ Kenyatta may also be purchased as printed books in both softcover and hardback from your favourite online and brick-and-mortar book retailers.
