Who is Dwight James III?
Dwight was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida. He is the eldest of his mother's children. Poet by nature, he uses poetry to inspire, disrupt the norm, and try things that are challenging. Dwight grew up "traveling" since his mom moved every few years. Being the oldest and family "weirdo", he did everything that wasn't normal or typical.
From living with his grandparents for two years after a summer away to spending three months alone in India, the idea of a "stable" home is still new to me. He's fine tuning his Arabic and Greek to use them in his writing and daily life. Dwight is here to serve, show love, and create.
Everything he does revolves around those pillars. He loves teaching, Soulection, reading, his girlfriend, Renelle Williams, family, and writing. He is also a graduate of Florida State University. His #1 goal is to correct and build his city, Jacksonville, FL one person at a time. He is currently a civic engagement specialist for the Jacksonville Urban League and a writer for Def Pen as he prepares to begin graduate school in the fall of 2021. He wishes excellence and breakthrough upon all those that spared their time for him to grow.
