Terrence Terrell, raised in Mississippi,
displayed an affinity for entertainment
at a young age. Throughout his
teenage years, he was bullied but
coped by turning the negativity into
humor. As an adult, Terrell moved out
of Mississippi to Los Angeles,
California, to pursue a dream of acting
and writing.

Terrell has penned his first children’s book which he
holds dear to his heart. Based on his childhood,
Blacky is an uplifting story about a young boy’s
journey to self-confidence. Blacky will encourage
readers to embrace the things that make them
different. He actually now has a NEW book, titled
“The Shes”, making him the author of two children’s
books specifically directed towards self-love and the
empowerment of Black boys and girls.

Key Quotes
“As little boys we were told to be dirty put on the ugly shoes. We weren’t
supposed to cry or show emotion, but my Grandma entirely different. She
