James A. Barlow

James A. Barlow (known to most as “Barlow”) was born and raised in Harlem, NY. He graduated Cum Laude from the City College of NY and currently works as a Senior Paralegal at a major corporate law firm. He is also the executive director and founder of the non-profit organization FromTheCorner, Inc., which is dedicated to providing inner-city youth with the tools necessary to overcome the obstacles that impede success.

Barlow’s evolution has taken him from selling drugs on the street corners of Harlem to the corner offices of some of America’s top corporate attorneys. That journey led Barlow to his real passion—writing and speaking about issues related to social justice in hopes of inciting an intellectual revolution and promoting societal egalitarianism.
