Demetria Harvin discovered her love for writing in college as an undergraduate student at Howard University. In her work, as a writer and editor, she has really found herself. Writing was a talent Demetria was afraid to express because many in her world said, "there's no money in it." But Demetria is now realizing that if she does what she loves the money will follow. She is influenced by her father, Al Harvin, a former sports writer for The New York Times and the first black sportswriter for The New York Post. Born and raised in Harlem, New York, Demetria hopes to one day publish a magazine about the Afrocentric aspects of New York.
