The powerful and inspiring book, “Doors Opening, Opening Doors: The Life and Lessons of Jerome Dorn,” written by Adina T. Laver with Lisa Fair Pliskin is uplifting, inspiring and ‘life-changing!’

A tale of triumph and trauma, generosity and humility, the story of Jerome Dorn speaks to what it means to be human and to live fully. As tempting as it is to try and fit a person’s life into a neatly shaped box, this memoir reveals why even a well-defined narrative of a person is still incomplete. No one is just one thing. Our lives are complex and who we are is continually evolving.

His memoir chronicles the circuitous path of a young man from the streets of North Philadelphia, through the jungle of Vietnam, to the briefing room of the Obama White House and beyond.

Dorn’s fascinating journey proves that one never knows where life will take you.

The story of Jerome Dorn’s life is a tale worth sharing for many reasons. Jerome is an interesting man who has lived an uncommon life. He learned many lessons, some the hard way, but he has come through it all, humbled by the opportunities he has been given and intentional in his attempt to pay it forward. But, the most important reason he chose to share the intimate details of his life was the potential it has for his children, grandchildren, and future generations to know him and to understand where they come from.

No child becomes who they are in isolation of the family and ancestors that came before them. The more we learn about our past, the more rooted and clear we can become about who we are and the life we are meant to live. It is a sincere hope that this memoir will inspire the sharing and documenting of family stories and ancestral history for the benefit this brings for everyone who is touched in the process.

Celebrity photographer and disabled Vietnam veteran Jerome Dorn embodies the very definition of resilience. Born in Philadelphia, the fifth of seven children, Dorn stayed focused throughout his youth, eventually obtaining his degree in Criminal Justice. Dorn has worked with the Philadelphia Police Department, Department of Justice, World Wide Detective Agency, and several other high profile security groups. Throughout his successful career, Dorn wrestled with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, an aftereffect of his military service. Battling the pain and debilitating effect of PTSD, Dorn found comfort behind the camera. Photography proved to be not only therapeutic, but life changing as well. Dorn picked up his first camera in 1970 while serving in Vietnam and knew instantly that behind the lens was where he belonged. His shooting style and photographs were special, generating a buzz in the industry. In 1985, he began his career in photojournalism, working in a variety of genres. Dorn’s credentials include fashion, lifestyle photography, photojournalism, and celebrity/red carpet coverage. Working with MSNBC, Jet Magazine, and major publications in Philadelphia and around the country, Dorn has had the honor of capturing the images of hundreds of notable celebrities and politicians including President Barack Obama, George Bush Jr, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Maya Angelou, Jesse Jackson, Rihanna, Snoop Dog, Will Smith, and Tyler Perry. Photography has sent Dorn around the globe, inspiring his passion for civil activism. In 1995, Dorn assembled and led a group of forty-two men to the Million Man March. Together, they spent five days walking from Philadelphia to Washington DC. In his travels, Dorn observed a common theme amongst the youth of the world. Many of the children he encountered seemed lost. Understanding that opportunities for at-risk youth are minimal, Dorn was inspired to make a difference. Established by Dorn in 2011, InDaHouseMedia was built on the idea that there is room in the house for everyone. With InDaHouseMedia, Dorn’s mission is to provide the future generation with positive direction through sports, music, and photography.
