Jerina Forbes

(She/her)

Jerina Forbes is currently a junior attending York College in Queens, NY, and majoring in English. She is highly fascinated by literature of all sorts and would like to become a published storyteller someday. Jerina has been writing for 19 years now. The love for writing started when she was just four years old. It became a space of solace for her as she learned how to navigate life and learn about the world around her. She also dabbles in all kinds of storytelling, whether it’s through short stories, poems, monologues, etc. She embraces them all. Over the course of her experience in the writing world, Jerina has volunteered and worked in a plethora of writing/reading internships, projects, and collaborations that have not only built her skills as a writer but have also taught her a few life lessons along the way. Jerina is also working on her very first sci-fi fantasy novel and is currently brainstorming plot and character development.
