DETAILS: Omar Tyree is a successful journalist, author, lecturer, poet, screenwriter, songwriter, and publisher. His stated goals are to create timeless African American reading material and feature films while continuing community entrepreneurship.

Tyree is a graduate of Philadelphia's Central High School, and Howard University's School of Communications in Washington, D.C.
