Danny Coleman Jr. is a powerful storyteller, mental health advocate, and resilience-building speaker whose transformational message has impacted students, recovery centers, churches, and communities across the Southeast. His signature framework, F.U.E.L.—Faith, Understanding, Endurance, and Love—helps audiences turn pain into power and setbacks into comebacks.

Danny’s journey is one of extraordinary redemption. After overcoming a 300-pound weight loss, food addiction, pornography addiction, and debilitating mental health diagnoses, he now uses his life story as a roadmap of hope for others facing overwhelming pressure, trauma, or adversity. His raw transparency and relatable humor create an atmosphere where audiences feel seen, understood, and empowered to believe that change is possible.

A graduate of Guido Bible College and a former Mental Health Minister, Danny has spoken for recovery programs, schools, youth groups, and nonprofits—including His House Women’s Recovery Home and New Beginnings in Christ—where his testimony sparked emotional breakthroughs, renewed hope, and life-changing decisions. He is the author of FUEL Up: A Student’s Guide to Turning Pressure Into Power and the creator of the F.U.E.L. Student Keynote and Workshop Series.

Whether speaking to educators, students, or individuals fighting for their future, Danny delivers a message that is faith-centered, emotionally honest, and backed by lived experience. His audiences walk away with practical strategies for resilience, emotional wellness, and purpose-driven living—and a renewed belief that their story isn’t over.

“Danny’s testimony brought breakthrough to our recovery homes. His transparency about addiction, mental health, and God’s healing power gave our residents renewed hope to keep fighting. Several said they were ready to give up before hearing him speak, but left inspired, encouraged, and strengthened. His life is living proof that Jesus still restores and sets people free.”
