Dr. Josias Jean-Pierre, an inspiring force in the world of literature, leadership, and empowerment, has been nominated for the highly regarded Industry Impact Award at the Influencer Magazine Awards 2025. This nomination honors his powerful journey and transformative influence across national and international platforms.

Born in Haiti and raised in SeaTac, Washington, Dr. Jean-Pierre defied expectations from an early age. Diagnosed with a learning disability and told he wouldn’t amount to much, he held tightly to a vision rooted in faith: to impact lives on a global scale through the words he writes and the stages he speaks on. Anchored in Christ and driven by purpose, he turned adversity into a calling—emerging as one of the most inspiring voices of his generation.

Today, Dr. Jean-Pierre is a celebrated author and motivational speaker whose message has resonated across borders. A multi-time national and international award-winning author, he is a three-time recipient of the prestigious Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award and holds an honorary doctorate from Trinity International University of Ambassadors. His mission is clear: to equip and empower others to rise fully into who they were created to be.

His work has not gone unnoticed. Dr. Jean-Pierre has been featured in top-tier outlets such as Forbes, Yahoo Finance, The Wall Street Times, Los Angeles Wire, CEO Weekly, and Heart Of Hollywood Magazine, among many others. ForbesOne listed him as a top author to watch in 2024, and Yahoo Finance honored him as one of the top 10 most inspirational African Americans in 2021, alongside cultural icon Ice Cube. Back home, the Federal Way Mirror named him a “Hometown Hero,” a title that reflects how deeply his message resonates on a local level even as his impact spans continents.

In addition to his U.S. recognition, Dr. Jean-Pierre has captured international attention—featured on the covers of Success2Success International Magazine (Canada) and Celina Celebrity Magazine (Nigeria), and named a 2025 Champion Awardee out of the UK. His recent nomination for an honorary doctorate in the UK further emphasizes his global reach and continued commitment to empowering others.

Congratulations to Dr. Josias Jean-Pierre on this remarkable nomination! His journey is a shining example of resilience, faith, and the power of belief—and the IMA 2025 stage is all the better for recognizing a man who continues to change lives, one word at a time.
