Interview with Kendrick K. Cooley | Author of Love and Loyalty


How would you describe yourself in one word?

Relentless.

Because when life tried to silence my voice, I turned the noise into poetry. I don’t stop. I evolve.


Why do you feel this is the ideal profession for you?

Writing chose me before I ever chose it. This isn’t just a profession — it’s my resurrection. Every word I write is a survival story, a blueprint for the broken, and a warning to the world: greatness lives here.


Your latest project?

“Love and Loyalty: The Code of Love – The Book That Changed My Life.”

It’s not just a story — it’s a movement. A gripping blend of heartbreak, healing, and high-stakes loyalty that’s already shifting minds and opening hearts. It’s about pain turned into power. It’s about Black brilliance and narrative ownership. It’s about me.


What’s the response you expect from your fans about your latest book?

I expect jaws to drop and minds to awaken. I want readers to close that final page and say, “This didn’t just entertain me — it healed me. It challenged me. It changed me.” Anything less wouldn’t be worthy of the pen I hold.


Can you please tell us about the most successful project you have worked on?

The most successful project? Myself. I turned trauma into art, struggled into strategy, and doubt into dominance. But if we’re talking books — “Moses: Turn My Pain Into Love” took the streets, the charts, and the culture by storm. It wasn’t just read. It was felt.


Your favorite book?

The Coldest Winter Ever by Sister Souljah. It was raw, real, and unapologetic. It showed me the power of truth, even when it’s gritty. It taught me that fiction can expose the facts of our reality.


What is your dream project?

A film series that brings my books to life — gritty, award-worthy, and soul-stirring. I want to put stories of survival, redemption, and unapologetic Black excellence on screens around the world. I want the world to feel us.

And I want Tyler Perry to direct the first one.


Your favorite author?

Besides Kendrick K. Cooley? I’d say Maya Angelou. Her pen had wings — she didn’t write, she freed people. She taught me the weight of words, the beauty of rhythm, and the power of standing tall even after crawling through hell.


How can your fans get updates about you? Your website or social media links?

I stay connected with my tribe.
