From an early age, Jenezio Harriet-Michael stood out for his unique presence as a speaker and motivator. At family gatherings, he would offer advice, encouragement, and even lead church services — roles uncommon for someone his age. Among his peers, he was seen as “different,” refusing to conform to trends in dress, behavior, or hobbies. Rather than letting this discourage him, Jenezio embraced his individuality, using it as a source of strength to inspire others.
As the son of immigrants, Jenezio developed a deep awareness of the value of life and the importance of purpose. He embraced the identity of being a “DOG” — Different, Outsider, Gift. Through this lens, he shaped his mission: to be a voice for the unheard, to bring hope where there is none, and to serve as a light for those lost in darkness.
Speaking and storytelling, for Jenezio, are inseparable. His goal is not just to entertain but to touch hearts and provoke thought. He believes stories should uplift, reveal truth, and illuminate the good in humanity rather than glorify the destructive. Guided by his Christian faith, he remains grounded in the belief that “the truth will set you free.”
Jenezio’s speaking is defined by authenticity, conviction, and purpose. His words carry the weight of lived experience and the fire of someone committed to being a gift to the world. Through his speaking, he seeks not only to encourage but to transform, reminding audiences that every challenge can be reframed as an opportunity for growth.
