3 Questions with David Miller
Youth and Baltimore

Dr. Mike Robinson, host of 3 Questions interviewed Mr. David Miller, Founder and CEO of Dare To Be King about the challenges facing youth and the city of Baltimore after the recent violent riots as the result of the tragic death of Freddie Gray.
David Miller combines grit and intellect to reach inner city youth and their parents. His pragmatic approach is simple yet effective because the lens through which he sees the world mirrors the lens through which they see it. His journey began more than 20 years ago when working with some of the world’s most challenging youth in the U.S., UK, Africa & West Indies. Much of David’s work has centered on teaching and developing life skills programs designed to promote alternatives to a gang lifestyle, initiatives for harm reduction and strategies for navigating the community. Miller is the author of several books which includes “Khalil’s Way,” the first in a series of children’s books for boys of color.
David is also the author of several books, which include Growing Up In a Notorious World (2002), Lessons I Learned from My Father: A Collection of Quotes from Men of African Descent (2004), Dare To Be Queen: Wholistic Curriculum for Working with Girls (2005) and Rhyme & Reason a Hip Hop Curriculum for professionals who work with teens (2005), Daddy’s Girl: Remembering Advice From My Father (2006) Where’s Mommy & Daddy?: A Workbook for Facilitating Groups with Youth Who Have a Parent in Prison (2014).
Finally, he is a graduate of the University of Baltimore with a B.S. Political Science and Goucher College with a Master’s Degree in Education.
