Kokugonza Kaijage

March 20, 2013 by PBQ

Kokugonza Kaijage is a professional student known by friends and family as Gonza and Kisha by strangers and loose acquaintances.  She’s collected many degrees and certifications including a bachelors degree in photojournalism, a certificate in cake decorating and most recently a Pharm D.  She currently resides in a finished basement in her sister’s Milwaukee, Wisconsin home along with her niece and nephew who choose to sleep upstairs.  She’s looking forward to her first job as a pharmacist, using her latest diploma, and her introduction into the rent paying non-welfare receiving part of society via her own efforts and not those of her parents or soft hearted loved ones.  Until then she writes short stories, performs at story slams, fills out job applications and asks herself how ten years of schooling landed her in a Midwestern basement.
