of his life in Lithonia and Decatur, GA. Through many trials as a child,
Jebreh earned a track scholarship to Alabama State University in 1996
(HBCU). Even though Jebreh majored in graphic design and minored
in photography, he is a studio artist at heart. His freshman year was the
beginning of his writings, due to a girl. He continued to write through the
years, with a year or two hiatus from writing. In 1999, Harris transferred
to The University of Tennessee-Knoxville, to continue his education and
his track career. Majoring in graphic design, Jebreh earned his BFA in

share.
Through the years he has written many poems, some of love, day-to-day, political, encouragement
and ethnic. The poems have matured through the years and so has he. His poems open himself to the
