AUTHOR BIO:

Dr. Kerry was 28 when BUPP Stage VI: A story of Black YUPPIES was completed. The three year project represents Kerry's "overwhelming need" to present an increasingly prevalent culture that is generally rejected by both Black and White societies. Kerry's family moved from Chicago's predominantly-Black South Shore to its predominantly-Jewish Highland Park when Dr. Kerry was 12. Kerry later spent one year in Indianapolis, Indiana before attending The Ohio State University. After graduating, Dr. Kerry married and moved to Los Angeles. Favorite hobbies include reading, in-line skating, and skiing. Favorite poem: If we must die, by Claude McKay.
