Kera McKeon
Kera McKeon is no stranger to chaos. She was raised by her agoraphobic mother, “musician” (unemployed) father, and a rotating cast of relatives when they got evicted or out of rehab. Desperate to escape the mess, Kera took up a string of odd jobs from kids acting coach, to Disneyland costume librarian, Hooter Girl, Renaissance Faire sausage wench, and (despite her belief that influencing is cringe) a TikToker. She has a B.F.A in Writing for Screen and Television from the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts. As the only member of her family without a DUI, Kera writes about underdogs who are dedicated to rising above their station.
