Nakia Kenyon, an award-winning author and owner of Murfreesboro-based Blue Leaf Publishing LLC, has recently released another title from Blue Leaf, Tell Me Why I’m Different, a children’s book that promotes autism awareness and the importance of making friends.

As a parent of a child on the autism spectrum, Kenyon tells the story of a young boy realizing that having autism doesn’t mean he is different from any other kid.

Kenyon’s novella Journey to Peace is also currently available on online bookstores. Following the story of a young woman figuring out what form of protest is right for her, Journey to Peace is a deep and reflective read meant for all ages. The novella is filled with life lessons and shows that there are many routes to the same destination.

Kenyon highlights the role religion plays in the protagonist’s journey to protesting. Journey to Peace features various ways to support the fight for equality such as protests, peaceful demonstrations, or working with the police as alternatives to participating in riots.

Kenyon earned a masters degree in theological and cultural anthropology in 2021. According to information from Blue Leaf Publishing, she decided to tell stories based on real experiences, since that is what anthropologists are trained to do.
