Harry brings his leadership and lived experience, with a background in teaching spoken word poetry and advocacy to systems-impacted and incarcerated youth, to his continuing work as an activist and educator. He founded New Earth in 2004 and has been instrumental in reforming the juvenile justice system in Los Angeles for 20 years. He earned his Ph.D. in Psychology with an emphasis in Community, Liberation, & Eco-Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, the result of decades of devotion to the four components of creating and supporting a healthy society – environment, wellness, education, and expression. While Harry’s approach to life and work acknowledges the trauma he’s experienced, his tireless curiosity drives his self-healing education, research, and practice forward. His life’s mission is to share what he’s discovered along the way to support the success of others. He connects the dots on how building a business that includes local communities and incorporates regenerative practices can have quantitative impact on personal fulfillment and the bottom line.

Harry is an international keynote and TEDx speaker. Harry’s global travel has taken him to more than 30 countries, where he’s spoken and supported communities through service in India, Central America, Europe, and Africa. In 2017, he was honored as a CNN Hero is a regular guest on the network. In 2018, ​Harry was personally selected by President and Mrs. Obama ​as one of 20 inaugural Obama Foundation Fellows from over 20,000 applicants in 191 countries. Michelle has called Harry “an impact-maker everyone should be paying attention to.”
