ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
I was born and raised in the beautiful island of Jamaica for 12 years. Then I lived in New York City for 3 years, until I somehow ended up back in Jamaica and lived there for 5 years. (By now you should have guessed my age) I am currently a college student in the US majoring in sociology and a minor in English. I love writing very much but since I returned to the US I have found it rather difficult to re-ignite that flame and passion that I had for writing. Hopefully as I post my work in Storymania, I can receive constructive criticism, or reviews of my work. I welcome negative reviews of my work because I feel this can help me to make my writing better. Things like, “this poem sucks!” or “I don’t understand anything you are talking about in this writing,” I welcome with open arms. I have traveled around, and have numerous experiences as it relates to the environment in which I’ve lived in. I admire diversity and culture, and hopefully someday, my admiration and interest in the various ways in which people live their lives can influence me more profoundly to reach out to people. I feel that writing is a way to start and gives me a chance to cut across borders and transcend across the continents, across ethnicity and race. Especially since I attend a university that is historically white, and 90% of the students are white middle-class Americans and I myself is of African descent. My passion for diversity increases the more I am in this kind of environment.

What's Still Worst Jahri Ann
If you don’t have anything good to say
Shut up
But out
Coming up to my face
Like I’m some kind of disgrace
I’m a human being
Seen?
Between all the lies and
Byes,
The taunts,
and flaunts
my guide cannot be denied.
Even though you say it
Cannot be lead,
and say Instead
I give my hopes to a bunch of
Nopes.
I say Why bother
My brother
My sister.
Stay together
Shoulder by shoulder
I cannot fight for just my
Right.
Indeed
I feel
It must be
Together forever,
Eternity.
Learn you see
Learn you be.
Forget your petty issue
When they’re many blisters
Third world countries
Worst for mercy.
Foremost than this
Africa,
The 3rd world
The weather
Heavier and leading
Bleeding
To whatever your ignorance
You must stop.
Don’t flop.
You do not know
The show
The flow
And so
You must realize
Never minimize
The scandalize
Is yet to come and make you
Wise.
They’re people just like us
You making fuss?
When you haven’t experienced
Deliquesce.
For your information
You must take into
Consideration
Not imagination
