From her home in Little Rock, Ayana Gray finishes her Beasts of Prey trilogy, her New York Times Bestselling pan-African fantasy series inspired by her time at the University of Arkansas.
Serena Puang, a journalist with deep roots in the state, leads this feature series that explores the stories of individuals who break through the simplistic stereotypes often linked to Arkansas.
Each piece in “The Real A with Serena” is a testament to the state’s varied population and a rebuttal to the outdated idea that Arkansas is a dull and uniform place. Serena introduces us to a spectrum of personalities, from innovators to trailblazers, all of whom add depth and color to the narrative of Arkansas.
