Kesia Ryan-Webster

Kesia Ryan-Webster (CAS’14) of Washington, D.C., published It Ain’t Easy (CreateSpace, 2015), a collection of short stories about growing up in Washington, D.C. “If you think it’s all memorials and museums, you’re mistaken,” she writes. “This collection explores the everyday lives of those who reside in the city—from the around the way girls and boys in the hood, to the private schools on the privileged side of town. It Ain’t Easy shows one of America’s most talked-about cities in a way it is rarely seen: through the eyes of the people.”

From the Winter-Spring 2016 issue.
