Devin D. Coleman's
work embodies the art of turning tragedy into triumph. Born and
raised in Jacksonville, FL, Devin’s life took an unexpected turn
while he was a student at Florida A&M University. An act of
poor judgment landed him in prison his senior year.
It was during this
time that Devin chose to redirect his life by harnessing his talent
for writing. He subsequently published his first volume of poetry
titled Prisoner to Poet: Thoughts of an Incarcerated Soul. Upon his
release, Devin went on to complete his college education in 2008
graduating with a 3.7 GPA
He serves his
community in various ways by utilizing his skills and passion for
civic engagement. Devin served as an Executive Board Member of the
Florida Rights Restoration Coalition (FRRC), a Volunteer Board
Member for the Duval Regional Juvenile Detention Center Advisory
Council serving in the role of Secretary, serves on the Client
Advisory Board (CAB) of Jacksonville Area Legal Aid, Member of the
Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Team as a part of Responsible
Fatherhood -An Initiative of the Northeast Florida Healthy Start
Coalition, Chairman of the Fatherhood Initiative Task Force in
Jacksonville, FL, and a 2017 Criminal Justice Reform Lobby Day
Ambassador.
Devin’s mission is
to stimulate fatherhood engagement while using his story to provide
a roadmap for recovery from mistakes. This passion has created
opportunities for Devin to speak at various events across the
nation. He has two video series (Fatherhood Friday and Fatherhood
Tips on YouTube) as well as several workshops aimed at helping
others turn the curve. His new book, Turning the Curve will be on
pre-sale late December 2020.
