She has released two books of poetry and prose: 'An Ocean of Grey' and 'A Wave of Dreams, ' the former exploring a painful breakup, the latter about living in a new country and finding new love with her husband Mohsin.

Kelly & Zoey: How being in transition enriched our marraige.

Kelly and Zoey Allen are an LGBTQ+ family and co-founders of the Kelzo jewellery brand. Kelly is a home educator, blogger and budding author. Zoey is a musician and singer-songwriter. (we even get a sneak peek of a song!)
Zoey came out as transgender two years ago and this is the story of how their family has navigated this time of change. It's a tale of hope that not all transgender stories end in heartbreak and though sometimes it's tough, they still have their little love bubble.
We also talk dog walking, if you are a head, heart or gut person, launching a business during the pandemic and how to walk in high heels when you have size 11 feet. The consensus is: Own it!
