Estrell Young III, a published and award-winning poet, author and Baltimore native, is just a God-fearing young man riding a ridiculously mean unicorn. After graduating from the University of West Georgia in 2009 he found himself virtually unemployable due a lengthy criminal history and a DUI arrest he got shortly before graduation. In the months that followed, he battled with depression while devouring bottle after bottle of alcohol until his father had had enough. One morning Estrell Sr. decided to slide a business card under his son's door and instructed him to call the man listed on the front. This one act of love set in motion a comeback of biblical proportions- Estrell interned for free at a local Public Defender's Office for 9 months, Monday through Friday, from open to close, thus showing people who he truly was and that he was not afraid of hard work. He had found his passion in public service and he was rewarded with a job. His writing is merely an extension of that love. do for you? No stranger to stag-es, his story of redemption is powerful and necessary. God's grace and mercy has covered him from an early age and his journey is eerily similar to the story of David- arguably one of the best tales in the good book. God, in HIS infinite wisdom sheltered Estrell, hid him away, secluded him from friend and foe until he had nothing but his pen and service to his fellow man
