Kendra James is the first African American legacy student to graduate from The Taft School, and she's spilling everything about her experience at the mostly white boarding school in her memoir Admissions. In her own professional life, James went on to specialise in diversity recruitment for prep schools, and it was during this time she realised she was leading a new generation of students to walk the same complicated path she did. That's when she decided to write Admissions, an account of the microaggressions and elitist nonsense she faced during her time at Taft, as well as an examination of the way pop culture depicts boarding school life.
