Harrison Barnes Parents
6’8 Harrison Bryce Jordan Barnes was born on May 30, 1992, in Ames, Iowa, to Shirley Barnes and Ronnie Harris, also proud parents to Harrison’s younger sister Jourdan-Ashle Barnes born in October 1998.
Shirley Barnes
Shirley Barnes raised her children as a single mother; when Harrison was three-months old she became homeless.
“It was my first time being in a shelter,” she said. “You have to be out at certain times of the day. The shelter is infested with roaches and bats and other homeless people. We are sharing showers. In my mind I didn’t think we were homeless, but I guess we all were.”
“Sitting in that shelter I felt isolated, but I didn’t want pity,” Shirley said. “My faith never wavered, I just kept praying, believing, and begging God to intercede on my behalf and help give us a chance.”
Not long after that, she moved into Section 8 housing in Ames, Iowa and got a job at Iowa State University. Ashley and her daughter Jourdan started Suited for Worl Clothing Closet, which provides accessories and clothing for unemployed people looking for a job.
“If they were to get a job, they’d go back and get a couple more outfits just so they could look good for their first couple days,” Harrison said. “When people would make the donations my sister and I would have to go and organize and put away all the clothing.
“It really made an impression on me. That’s why now I do a lot of non-profit and charitable work because I saw the sacrifice and giving mentality that she had an early age.”

Harrison’s pretty and talented sister Jourdan-Ashle Barnes is studying at the New York University of Law, from where she expects to graduate in 2024; Jourdan did an internship at the U.S. new internship at the U.S. Senate in 2018.

“I grew up about two hours north of there but in order for me to get my hair done, my mom always brought my sister and I down to Richmond to a family friend. I think every Black woman understands the experience of, you know, an unprofessional or inefficient haircare experience that left a sour taste in her mouth. So I really just saw a need for a beautiful space that was created for us, that was focused on textured and healthy hair care for both our natural hair and however we choose to style it.”
