For years I have known Jerome Dorn as a professional photographer working alongside me at the Philadelphia Tribune, The New Observer, and Scoop USA. But there was a side of Jerome I didn’t know.
This former “Philly Shooters” (media photographers group) has chronicled his remarkable journey of personal growth, professional success, and lessons learned along the way. Founder of InDaHouseMedia and Author Dr. Jerome Dorn has released his first book, “Doors Opening, Opening Doors: The Life and Lessons of Jerome Dorn,” an inspiring memoir written by Adina T. Laver with Lisa Fair Pliskin. This is an uplifting, life-changing “good read,” Dr. Jerome Dorn recently shared his memoirs–“Doors Opening, Opening Doors: The Life and Lessons of Jerome Dorn, ” on WURD, 96.1 FM, The New World View with David Barnes and Yanina Carter. Dorn, who is from Philadelphia, currently lives in Atlanta and is planning his first book signing in the ATL and then here in Philadelphia.
From his humble beginnings to becoming a prominent figure in the media industry, Dr. Dorn’s story is an inspiring testament to the power of perseverance and determination. “I was inspired to write this book because every time I talked to people about my life–everyone said I needed to write a book.” He added, “Just growing up in the streets of Philadelphia and my diverse life.”
Born in Philadelphia, the fifth of seven children, Dorn stayed focused throughout his youth, eventually obtaining his degree in Criminal Justice. Dorn has worked with the Philadelphia Police Department, Department of Justice, World Wide Detective Agency, and several other high-profile security groups. Throughout his successful career, Dorn wrestled with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, an aftereffect of his military service. Battling the pain and debilitating effect of PTSD, Dorn found comfort behind the camera. Photography proved to be not only therapeutic but life-changing as well.
