“Keep on keepin’ on. Because, believe it or not there’s someone who’s looking at you in a way that you don’t even see yourself.” - Tyrone J. Dangerfield

Ever Forward Club’s Ashanti Branch is joined by Tyrone J. Dangerfield. Tyrone is a Writer and Independent Filmmaker, born and raised in Oakland, CA. With deep generational family roots in the Bay Area, he loves researching his family history and is heavily influenced and fascinated by stories on both sides of the law. Currently working in and elevating his craft in Atlanta, Georgia, it was a teacher in 1993 who first recognized his talent as a writer and encouraged Tyrone by putting him into the Junior Publishers program.
