Jason Samuel

Jason Samuel is the author of Don't Do It, a powerful book centered on choices, consequences, redemption, healing, and second chances. Drawing from his own journey — from incarceration and adversity to education, entrepreneurship, mentoring, and community service — Jason uses his story to show others that their past does not have to determine their future. His message, "You Always Have the Choice to Walk Away," encourages young people and adults to walk away from violence, negative influences, destructive habits, and decisions that can change their lives forever. Today, Jason works as a mentor, motivational speaker, restorative-justice advocate, entrepreneur, and founder of the Don't Do It movement. Featured in 'Officer Down' on CNN with Van Jones.
