Tyra (Grayson) Hatley
Fourth Child of Daryle Hatley Sr., Seventh Great-Grandchild of Phillip Hatley
Tyra (Grayson) Hatley is an activist and artist who enjoys creating voices for others. Whether through help for causes or expression through media, Grayson takes the chances necessary to bring light to those in the darkness.
Grayson attended Medical District High School, took Duel-Enrollment classes with Southwest Tennessee Community College, and was the president (and founder) of the MDHS/SWTNCC Art Club. They graduated in 2025 with an associates degree and #10 of their graduating class, the first ever of Medical District. They spend time engaging with local communities, advocating for the improvement of justice and safety within the City of Memphis through political activism and artistry.
Grayson is a fan of the FNAF franchise. They're quite involved in the local music scene and loves attending shows... and they're writing & illustrating their own comic series!
Grayson also had art showcased at the Harriet Performing Arts Center years before the Juneteenth 2025 event was held there!
