Demetrius Irick, author of I’m Finally a Man
(DeeJak’s Publishing Company)
Born in the small town of Orangeburg, SC, there was little for the youth to do and limited opportunity for growth. Demetrius turned to drugs, crime and alcoholism as a means for excitement. At the point of no return and the brink of insanity, incarceration became his wake up call. After serving four years in prison, Demetrius returned to society determined to live a positive and more productive life.
Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write I’m Finally a Man?
Demetrius Irick: My inspiration to write I'm Finally a Man comes from the desire to help another brother. I also need to tell everyone about the miracles I’ve witnessed through Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As I reflected on my life, I saw so much pain, poor decisions and hurt that I wanted to prevent someone else from going down a similar path if possible.
