Born and raised in the inner city of Philadelphia, PA., Harry quickly learned the importance of a good education. He was accepted into the top high school in the city, Central High School of Philadelphia, where he developed a keen interest in media and became the youngest student to intern at two large tv networks, WHYY and UPN.

As a first-generation college student and graduate of an HBCU, Harry devotes his free time to educating teenagers in the under-resourced areas of D.C. on the benefits and importance of not only attending an HBCU but also obtaining a college degree and inspiring them to reach their fullest potential despite certain circumstances.
