Hello Everyone,

My name is Jerrick Thomas, I’m 33 years old, Shreveport, LA, born and raised.

Also known as penname Jrayis Deyond, I’m a 3 time self-published author, with my collection available at Amazon.com

It is my goal to join to share my voice and talents with other upcoming artists, to inspire and motivate members of the African American and LGBTQIA+ communities, to share their voices and visions through our love of the arts.
