As a White House intern under President Obama, Derek learned how to unleash his inner power and how to use storytelling to encourage others to do the same.Featured in Business Insider for his commitment to community and development work in his hometown of Durham, North Carolina, he is highly sought after as a motivational speaker, respected for his emphasis on the importance of civic engagement at the local level.His 2016 children’s book, Jimmy for the City, not only strives to teach children about local politics, but also amplifies Derek’s motivational messages: believe in your dreams, rise above often self-imposed obstacles, create opportunities for others, and most of all, communicate your feelings to the world.view less
