Derrick Newton, MFA

With five years of experience as a youth counselor, I have dedicated my career to serving at-risk youth in underrepresented communities. My passion lies in empowering individuals, particularly those who have faced the challenges of drug addiction or incarceration, to realize their full potential and transform their lives. With a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing, I combine my expertise in social dynamics with a love for storytelling.

I’m also a self-published author of several books and articles, using writing as a tool to inspire change and foster personal growth.
