Doctor and Author, Glenn Parris, encompasses his own dichotomy: physician by day, his scientific outlook informs his creative work. He writes in the genres of sci-fi, fantasy, and medical mystery. As one of the too few African-American men practicing medicine, his unique perspective makes his writing compelling and makes him an engaging speaker. Parris is an expert in Afrofuturism. A self-described lifelong sci-fi nerd, his interest in the topic began as a tween before the term Afrofuturism was even coined. As a graduate of The Bronx High School of Science, along with Samuel R. Delany, and Neil de Grasse Tyson, he was in good company to have his interests cultivated as can be seen by the broad scope of topics in which he writes.
