Kevin Allred is a writer, speaker, educator, and musician who loves Beyoncé and believes knowledge should be accessible to everyone—not just gatekeepers of the Ivory Tower. He lives in Brooklyn with his boyfriend and (possibly demonic) senior chihuahua with no teeth, Marshall.
Kevin's mission is to facilitate conversations that disrupt America's racist and heterosexist status quo, and to have fun while doing it. He's an ex-Mormon from Logan UT, a punk rock indie folksinger, a diligent student of Black feminism, and outspoken outlaw of academia. He holds degrees from Utah State University, UMass Boston, Berklee College of Music, and Rutgers University. He published Ain't I A Diva?: Beyoncé and the Power of Pop Culture Pedagogy with the Feminist Press at CUNY in 2019. His other writing has been featured all over the internet. Kevin also runs the independent record label, Gutter Folks Records. |
