Meet Jerra

AUTHOR. editor. Blogger.

Jerra Latrice is a native of Gary, IN (yes, the hometown of Michael Jackson) and she currently resides in Atlanta, GA. Since a student in middle school, she has been gifted in writing. Her former sixth-grade English teacher, Ms. Faulkner (now Ms. Griffin), once proclaimed, “If you keep this writing up, one day, I’ll be reading one of your books!”

Throughout middle school, high school, and college, she has earned nothing less than ‘A’ letter grades on all written assignments. Because of her clear, descriptive, and impactful writing style, Jerra has been awarded several scholarships and recognition. 

Her first book, ‘I Was Bitter, Now I’m Better’, is a relationship memoir based on her prior experiences with low self-esteem, being jaded, and having an extreme distrust in men. The author empowers women to heal, repair internal issues, take accountability, and make better decisions regarding relationships and dating. She is a life coach dedicated to helping single women heal, rebuild, and live powerful, purposeful lives.
