Author and Literary Philanthropist, Dexter A. Powell, Jr., is one step closer to distributing 1M free copies of his memoir, Young King: Take Your Stand. The riveting memoir explores how decision-making during young adulthood can lead to success or setbacks.
After enduring fires meant to extinguish his dreams, his mission is to reach young men and teach them about the importance of choosing a life in which they can flourish. With dynamic insight, Powell shares his struggle to overcome juvenile delinquency, drug addiction, mental illness and suicide.
“I believe life can be better, fulfilling and less problematic, if youths learn the importance of decision-making and why they must never gamble their future for wrong decisions,”
-- Dexter Powell Jr.

I’m connecting to my new community, introducing myself to the local Harris County Sheriffs department while handing out Young King books and contact cards!
Thank you to the St. Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center for taking 100 Young King: Take Your Stand books to read with their adult education program! 9,200 books have now been given away in the last 100 days!
With an empathetic heart the Young King mission continues to connect with the most vulnerable of our community.
Young King: Take Your Stand has been vetted by the Wayne County Juvenile division. They provide my book for all current young men housed in their facility.
Young King is now in Oakland Children’s Village, Spectrum Juvenile services Highland Park, and Wayne County Juvenile!!!!
This is just the beginning of my mission to place my books in every juvenile detention center in the Nation, by faith I move.
Using my voice to create change in the world!!!
