Dr. Karrah Cheruiyot has dedicated her life to educating the next generation about World History at both the high school and collegiate level. She currently serves as an adjunct professor at Morehouse College and a teacher St. Paul Central High School. Her deepest passion is about incorporating histories and stories that were hidden by people in power. There is power in the voices that were silenced, and she seeks to elevate those stories back to the history that they always deserved to be. Her debut novel, "From the Ashes of Saint-Domingue" (Pronounced in the nasal French way: S-eh-n Dough-mayn-guh) looks at how one of the greatest pieces of fiction ever written (The Count of Monte Cristo - by Alexandre Dumas) is actually hiding a coded revenge story against Napoléon, to bring poetic justice to the author's father... The Black General of the French Revolution, Thomas-Alexandre Dumas. For Cheruiyot, writing is a passion project full of research, joy, and passion. Before she became an educator or a writer, her first love was in the arts. She loved to perform on stage as an operatic soprano. Unfortunately, our world does little to make artistic performance an economically viable life-choice, so she moved to the much more lucrative field of public school teaching. (Yes, that is sarcastic!). When she isn't working or writing, Cheruiyot spends much of her time with her incredible husband and her four wonderful children.
