About the CEO,
Kanika Vann
Kanika A. Vann (Writer/ Editor/ Author/ Journalist/Publisher) A native of Clinton, Maryland, has been using literary anecdotes and pen strokes to excite the minds of readers since the age of eleven. She physically embraced the written word in poetic form in grade school and has only expanded her portfolio since then. Kanika began to aggressively develop her writing skills; studying the poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar, Pablo Neruda, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Langston Hughes while composing a journal of independent essays and poems, which reflected her passion for written expression. Her word combinations have grown to command frequent attention and even more critical acclaim, prompting her to acknowledge Dr. Maya Angelou, whose “show, not tell” writing style she’s most readily embraced, as her greatest literary inspiration. Blessed with an air of “poetic prowess” (Towson University English Professor, Lena Ampadu), Kanika possesses a talent that would draw praise from any seasoned writer. She leaves [readers] “renewed and enlightened;” somehow better than they were before their eyes met her phrases (GodAllahTruth Hall; member of hip-hop trio, Gods’Illa).
In 2003, she began to publish her work through various outlets including her alma mater’s university newspaper, the Towson Towerlight. Her work continued as contributing writer, staff writer, and editor for Long Beach, California’s Metro.dot.Pop Magazine, Sin City’s Las Vegas Sentinel-Voice Newspaper, Washington, D.C. online entertainment magazine, DMV Spectrum.com, and most recently, Maryland’s own, AMADI Magazine. She also serves as editor for Washington D.C. fashion publication, X&I Fashion Magazine.
As of 2013, Kanika’s portfolio includes reviews, commentaries, analyses, and feature articles from interviews with U.S. President Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, former basketball stars Sheryl Swoopes and Greg Anthony, Civil Rights activist Myrlie Evers-Williams, Human Rights activist Cleve Jones, and international rock star, Prince; just to name a few.
Deemed “a passionate and proficient, experienced and efficient writer” (Dr. Kwabena E. Asomani, Ed.D; Dr. Tracee Walker-Gilbert, Ph.D; Dr. Lonise Bias, Ed.D), by those she has written for, Kanika hopes to make an indelible mark on the writing world by continuing to lift her pen, as she showcases her literary talents and adds to her credit, the title of both author and entrepreneur, with the release of her books: ©Love: Possible (2013), ©Exes and Ohs (2022), and her publishing company, Love Lore® Publishing, LLC.
