Darrius Garrett Biography
Bestselling Author, Motivational Speaker, Mental Health Advocate, YouTuber, and Original Freedom Writer Darrius Garrett transitioned from an inner-city youth in Long Beach, California, to becoming a community pillar. He is based in Sacramento, CA.
Garrett became a New York Times bestselling author when he co-wrote "The Freedom Writers Diary" along with his classmates and teacher Erin Gruwell. This work inspired the 2007 movie "Freedom Writers," where Garrett is portrayed as the character Marcus. In addition to his contribution to literature, he wrote and performed the song "Change" for the movie's soundtrack. His literary repertoire also includes his personal memoir, "Diary of a Freedom Writer: The Experience," which provides a deep dive into his life's trials, triumphs, and failures.
Garrett's keynotes, including "Teach With Your Heart," "From Hustling to Hope," and "Diary of a Freedom Writer ‘The Experience’,” focus on motivating his audiences with his story of hope, tolerance, and action. He aims to educate, encourage, and inspire all, urging them to become the fire that ignites change.
