About Carl Jones.

About [ta.HI.rah].

Born in Texas and raised around the world, he ended up in South Carolina some time in 1991. He has always had a passion for creative writing, poems, and stories even dabbling with Hip Hop.

Tahirah Spann is the creative administrator for Izms of Art. A product of Cali roots and a S.Carolina upbringing, Tahirah maintains a deep appreciation for a good meal, a fly pair of kicks, and a sunny afternoon of vermi-composting. She earned a degree in Studio Art & Art History, and is deeply fascinated by the blurry line between an art form and a craft. Her creative inspirations range from Max Beckmann to Kara Walker, Octavia Butler to Rumi. Tahirah firmly believes that by serving others you serve yourself and finds motivation in one of her favorite truths - “do or do not … there is no try.”

admin. creative writing.

Comics, science fiction, film, and history have greatly influenced his writing style! Stay tuned as his work will be presented soon!
