It’s Never Too Late: Dr. Dwayne Dunbar’s Journey of Purpose & Community Impact
What does it really mean to believe it’s never too late to change your life? Dr. Dwayne Dunbar — Columbus native, nonprofit leader, and formerly incarcerated man — turned the hardest chapters of his life into a mission of service. He opens up about growing up in Linden, rebuilding his identity after prison, the power of positive self-talk, and the grandmother who taught him what service really looks like.
