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
the spring of 2002. With his degree finished Jebreh proceeded to run

Jebreh signed with Evander Holyfield’s track club, Holyfield International in 2003. In 2005 Jebreh signed
a running contract with Reebok and continues to run for them. Being ranked as high as #2 in the US,
traveling to many countries, different states, and encountering all types of people, Jebreh has a lot to
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
readers and he hopes the readers will open themselves up to his poems. With his debut book together
