Meet Lead Author of Passing As "Straight" Kinyatta E. Gray

Kinyatta E. Gray is an Author, Celebrity Travel Influencer and CEO of FlightsInStilettos. She’s also the lead author who’s spearheading a group of 5 women who are sharing their very personal stories for the first time in a book that’s poised to be a smash hit in 2020 — Passing As “Straight”.

Kinyatta wrote and published her first book in 2019, a memoir, called 30 Days: Surviving the Trauma and Unexpected Loss of a Single Parent as an Only Child.

Kinyatta’s aspirations to become an author were as a result of a heart-gripping moment in her mom’s final moments of life. She committed to honoring her mother’s legacy by becoming a published author.  Kinyatta’s mother wanted to be a published author but passed away in 2018 before ever realizing her dream.

Kinyatta has acquired the support of the biggest talent in the entertainment industry to support her book. The celebrities who have conveyed support for "30 Days" the memoir are Yandy Smith CEO of EGL Magazine & TV personality, TV personality Antoine Von Boozier,  CEO of New Jersey's largest radio station Time2 Grind, Madison Jaye, Celebrity Podcaster,  Pilar Scratch, Celebrity Public Relations Expert, and Always Ask Asia, Radio One Personality, just to name a few.  

Rising in success,  Kinyatta's book has been featured on a variety of press outlets such as Urban Magazine, Medium, Mogul,  Iheart radio and Pandora "The Madison Jaye Show" and Fashion Gxd Magazine.  

Also, Kinyatta has been featured internationally by The Davi Magazine based in London.

Kinyatta's memoir was also a 2019 sponsor of  "Christmas with Carol" hosted by Carol Maraj, mother of Hip hop icon, Nikki Minaj.

In publishing her next book, Passing As “Straight” Kinyatta and her co-authors strive to shed light on an often taboo topic and to enlarge the conversation, inspire hope, understanding and tolerance. Above all, Kinyatta’s desire is to encourage people to live and walk in their truth.

Passing As Straight is scheduled to be released in March 2020.
