Conversation Moderator | Family ValuesJasai Theater Festival 2025
Terrence Harris
Terrence Harris doesn’t just ask the questions—he challenges the systems. As the conversation moderator for Skits and Conversations Presents: Family Values, Terrence brings depth, personal truth, and sharp analysis to the post-show dialogue, guiding audiences beyond emotion into real reflection and real solutions.
What fuels his work is more than passion—it’s lived experience. After nearly losing his freedom to the court system over a cannabis charge, Terrence’s life pivoted. That moment of reckoning sparked a commitment to freedom, entrepreneurship, and the power of voice. He began making music eight years ago, launched his first business five years ago, and has since been on a mission to develop a brand rooted in ownership, creativity, and cultural restoration.
Terrence has worked with respected collectives like John Graves Productions (JGP), REC Philly, BlackSoulSummer, and 19 Keys, using his influence to lift up artists who are often overlooked and under-resourced. His big dream? The repatriation of the African diaspora—and he believes that change starts locally, through education, platforms, and equity for Black creatives.
He’s currently building platforms for musicians and artists who value independence and ownership, with expansion plans set for Delaware and Virginia. Philly may be the proving ground, but Terrence's vision is global.
His stance on the Philly arts scene? It’s time to remove our dependency on systems and gatekeepers that don’t serve us. He calls for a shift away from corporate and state reliance and toward community-controlled empowerment.
Whether moderating conversations, curating stages, or cultivating leaders, Terrence Harris is in the business of making liberation real—one story, one artist, and one audience at a time.
