Who is Dwight James III?

I was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida. I am the eldest of five children from my mom. At Florida State University, I am a senior double majoring in creative writing and theatre with aspirations of being a teacher and filmmaker. Poet by nature, I use my poetry to inspire youth, disrupt the norm, and try things that aren't easy to do. I love teaching, traveling, Soulection, reading, my girlfriend, family, and the act of creating. My #1 goal is to change my city, one person at a time and I plan to do just that through everything I do.
