X NBA Cheerleader loses her effin mind!

About Me

ERIKA J. KENDRICK... I rock out in the middle of Manhattan and have recently taken a first class trip out of my own minstrel mind, leaving the music game behind after serving some serious time at 2 major labels on my own goddamn dime. Switched stilettos and hopped on a Publishing plane after inking a 2 book deal in the reputable Random House game. My first born, "Confessions of a Rookie Cheerleader: A Novel" dropped last year. After cheering for the Championship squad, I mean SERIOUSLY, wouldn't you? ...to not dish would be tres irresponsibly INSANE!

My Interests


Becoming the sickest girly author on the planet, horseback riding, jet setting, my Himalayan, optioning the film rights to my gourmet dish "Confessions of a Rookie Cheerleader: A Novel" - dropping Feb 27th, burning calories, inking the freshest mag column since "Dear Abby", did I mention Herradura Seleccion Suprema...ah, Good Times!

I'd like to meet:


In my off season I LIVE to travel. It's definitely a priority; keeps my perspective on life and people prophetically sharp. Graduated from Stanford and studied abroad while working on my MBA... romanced Paris and Brussels and married Amsterdam (hmmm) and Barcelona. Later, I divorced Hawaii - too high maintenance! Had a lovechild with Vegas a few weeks ago before bolting back to two-time the Bahamas. I'm learning to fly a plane - def the most rocker chick thing I've done in awhile (cheering for The Worm was naughtily gnarly!) - and thinking of super sexy scenes for my next industry insider dish. TO GET THE GOURMET CONFESSIONS DISH CLICK HERE...I'D LIKE TO MEET... GOD, the devil, Mahatma Ghandhi, Honest Abe, Dave Matthews, Michael Jackson, my future husband, Angelina Jolie - did I mention god? Oh yeah, I did mention Angelina! Gary Coleman, Oprah, My father's mother, MLK (another real PIMP who charismatically changed the game), Jackie Collins, Kelsey Grammar, DeNiro, Toni Morrison, Redd Foxx, Supahead, Harold Washington, W.E.B. Dubois, Jenna, Marion Berry (would love to write about how a hustler, I mean politiician, fucks crack and manages to still score a VIP plus 1 invite to the governor's ball), Nelson Mandela, Sting, Spielberg, Maya Angelou, Dr. 90210, Rosa Parks, Whitney... Recently vogued w/ one of my absolute fave models, JESSICA WHITE (a def badass chick and what a sweetheart! - thx for that!) but I digress..................................................... !

BOOK BUZZ

– PUBLISHER’S WEEKLY REVIEW

“Former Chicago Bulls cheerleader Erika J. Kendrick covers friendship, romance and undergarment sabotage in this fun, scandalous, behind-the-scenes tale that rings delightfully true.”
– UPSCALE MAGAZINE

“I LOVED YOUR BOOK… fascinating page-turner!”
– BLACK BEAT MAGAZINE

“This new author dispels the myth of cheerleading bimbos.”
– ROMANTIC TIMES MAGAZINE

“After reading Erika Kendrick’s irresistably juicy expose into the life of a professional cheerleader, I’m tempted to invest in a pair of poms and breakout in a herky. Chock full of backstabbing divas, to-die-for couture and sizzling sex, Confessions of a Rookie Cheerleader is chick lit’s newest must-have read. Three cheers for Hannah!”
– TIA WILLIAMS, AUTHOR of The Accidental Diva & It Chicks

“I loved Confessions of a Rookie Cheerleader!! As an ex-wife of an NBA player, it gave me insight into the lives of the cheerleaders – the ‘other’ players on the team; as a woman, I appreciated the fantasy of true love with a smart, handsome, talented and wealthy Prince Charming, and as co-owner of the Hue-Man Bookstore, I can count on a great read for my customers!!”
– RITA EWING, Author of Brickhouse & Homecourt Advantage & Co-Owner, Hue-Man Bookstore
