Biography

J. Thurman was born in Chicago, IL and attended Southern University A&M College Baton Rouge where he earned degree Psychology/Political Science. In 1998, he moved to Atlanta, GA to pursue his career in public health.

After landing a job in county government J. Thurman, felt the itch to write again after being away for it most of his college career. J. Thurman was already a published author at the age of sixteen. J Thurman’s guest editorials for the Southern Digest keep his fever for writing hot, but it was still not enough. He remembers when he first met Gwendolyn Brooks, in high school, and how she welcomed him in with open arms shaping his literary future forever. After finishing the unpublished “Verses of the Abstract”, a biopic collection of short stories and essays in 1992, he put down his pen in for more than ten years, then inspiration hit. A student of history, philosophy and science he began to write again. This time is was a short story, “The 9th Fire” that got his creative juices going again. The story centered on an Egiptian goddess that is resurrected and saves the earth. “It was time to pick up the pen again”, he says, and began to resurrect the deity like qualities in us all.
Shortly therefore after, in 2008 The Man-You-All (A Guide to Save Black Women Time, Money & Energy) was born. In arriving as an artist J. Thurman decided to take the lessons on being a self published author to heed and formed Zodok Publishing. He states that, “The purpose of Zodok Publishing is to help writers become authors and from authors to self sufficient entrepreneurs through education, self empowerment and rethinking their idea about the literary profession”.

J. Thurman continues to speak to colleges and corporations, along with writing his famed series on personal development and entrepreneurship helping other to Maximize their Po-Ten-Tial.
