Darren Sankofa Seals is a mentor, community advocate, and storyteller dedicated to helping young people understand the true consequences of their choices. Raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Darren has witnessed firsthand the emotional and generational impact of violence, incarceration, and loss.

Instead of allowing those experiences to define his future, he chose to transform them into a mission. Through storytelling, mentoring, and community outreach, Darren speaks directly to youth who feel trapped between street pressure and personal growth.

His books serve as warnings, reflections, and guidance—encouraging readers to think before reacting and to choose a path that leads to survival, purpose, and long-term success
