J. Dwayne Garnett, the multi-talented Love Advocate and founder of Love Is A Parable joined us in the Ubuntu House.

Dwayne's mission is to help people identify their core values and triggers through their valued-based programs. Knowing who we are is critical to living a fulfilled, meaningful and purpose-driven life. Dwayne takes us on an interesting journey of purpose and self-discovery. The cherry on the top was listening to him sing.

As a youth, Garnett developed an affinity with words. This entanglement of attraction grew from a mere infatuation to an obsession, spawning an incubator of protection, interest, and tranquility from a world of crime, violence, drugs, and immorality. He believes words are phenomenal; with music they become song; with the rhythm they become poetry; collectively or individually they make statements that portray, provoke, and induce life. Most importantly, he believes that words are an outlet and the canvas of positive creative expression.

He experienced a life inundated with negative stereotypes and unconstructive growth, thus he sought out a means to channel the pessimism he incurred. He found this outlet by performing with Creative Impressions, a performance group of distinction. There, at the age of 14 he became a motivational speaker and poet as well as a singer, dancer, and actor. He believes his entire experience was subscripted with words and largely saved his life! Now, he is ready to share the power of words to save others who have been plagued with negativity, looseness, and cancellations of dreams, hope and/or life.

His affinity grew from the love of the Spoken Word to that of the Living Word; which led Garnett to obtain his credentials as a licensed and ordained Pastor. In addition to ministry, Garnett has more than 20 years of experience in Higher Education and is committed to motivating and mentoring individuals of all ages to obtain and sustain effective life management skills, as well as provide services for troubled and/or “at-risk” youth. A continuation of this desire led to the creation of Altar and Dwelling Place Inc., a nonprofit that promotes character, Social, Leadership Development, and is the home of the "Love Is A Parable" initiative. This initiative is designed to provide love education, love advocacy, and love wellness, in an attempt to encourage others to perpetuate love through random acts of kindness.

J. Dwayne is the author of:

“Ampersands and Commas: Love Is Communicating”,

“Ephphatha, Love Is A Parable Reflection Manual: Open to Love”,

"Random Thoughts".

His motto is “everyone has the ability to experience change in a single thought.”
