A person is identified by the community they come from. It makes up a major chunk of their personality and tells about their character and outlook on different things. The community and its values impact a person greatly, which later reflects in their life decision and the roles they take on. One should be proud of their roots and background as it truly defines who they are. Unfortunately, the upcoming generation is unaware of the significance of cultures and backgrounds and do not want to be categorized or labeled. If this continues to happen, then the world will slowly become mundane and gray. Dwayne Holness is one personality who proudly embraces his culture and community and imparts the effect of its importance to people at large. Judging by his consistent efforts, he can be labeled as a ray of hope or saving grace for the gradually decaying cultures.

It Takes Big Hearts to Help Shape Little Minds
Humans are always juggling with the idea of listening to their mind or the heart, and the heart is often the winner in this scenario. Similar was the situation with Dwayne. As a child, he faced some unfair and unpleasant situations. Being a kid of color and coming from a 'labeled' neighborhood imprinted massively on his personality and thinking. He belonged to Jane and Finch, a Canadian neighborhood that had an ill reputation in the society. The neighborhood had been stained due to some unexplainable encounters that it did in the past. He was judged and bullied based because of where he came from. Dwayne grew up listening to all the negative things people said about his background, neighborhood, and culture. Negativity spurred around him, but this child never lost track of his positivity.

He was always of the opinion to impart good vibes no matter the situation. This approach led him to a plan that worked tremendously well. He realized that people only followed and listened to the powerful. So, to make his voice heard and remove the immoral tags from his Jamaican descent, he decided to establish his career and then speak for the right.
As Dwayne was adamant about achieving bigger things in life, he never neglected studies. He was aware that only a literate could bring the change his community wanted. Holness completed his graduation with honors from Humber College for Multimedia Design. Majoring in Multimedia Design and Production makes his interest areas obvious.

A Personality to Look Up to
Having achieved his childhood dream of uplifting his communities, Dwayne never restricted himself from learning more.

Adding more to his achievements, Dwayne has also introduced the life-changing "Calculated Steps" philosophy.

The purpose of doing so was to recall the cause and effect of the mistake, which in return helped the brain to think positively. The philosophy also emphasizes that if there is something wrong that one knows, the brain must be ready and should have the capacity to unlearn it. It will help take steps towards success and work towards the betterment of oneself, ultimately helping the community and society grow. Dwayne has also introduced Calculated Steps in his Podcast.
