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.

"I am affiliated with the Freedom Writer Foundation and Darrius is a Freedom Writer. He has worked very hard in my affiliation with him. He has been a speaker at the juvenile hall where I work talking to at-risk students and encouraging them to get an education. He is a great speaker. Darrius would be a valuable asset."

"Darrius came to speak at my conference this summer and his presentation went way beyond my personal expectations. His authenticity and heart-felt words had my audience in tears. I had many speakers at my five day event and Darrius was the one speaker that people complimented on over and over again. His presence is so full of love, kindness and honesty. I would LOVE to have him back at any of my future events. He is a true professional, with the integrity of the highest standards. I can't recommend him enough! His ability to create a presentation to meet the focus of my event was really impressive to me. Everyone loved him!"
