Derrick Sherroid Brown, pen name D.S. Brown, son of Bessie Williams Brown and John Heard Brown, husband to Erica Lindsey Brown and father of Elle Lindsey Brown. I am a very proud American by birth and nationality, and African of western continental origin by ancestry. I’m a native of Atlanta, Georgia, in particular the area known as South West ATL. These days I reside on the northern side of the metro in Gwinnett County. This is WHO I am, a regular guy from the ATL, a gentleman of the South.
