Roy Juarez, Jr. didn’t grow up dreaming of becoming an author—he grew up dreaming of survival. At just 14, Roy became homeless, carrying his younger brother and sister through the streets of San Antonio, Texas, searching for safety after fleeing domestic violence. With no one willing to take him in, Roy spent the next two and a half years living out of a duffle bag, bouncing from place to place—yet never giving up on his future. Today, Roy is a celebrated author, speaker, and activist who has shared his story with over one million youth, educators, and families across all 50 U.S. states and 10 countries. His voice, once silenced by struggle, now echoes in classrooms, boardrooms, juvenile halls, and communities nationwide through his books, keynotes, and leadership programs. As the founder of IMPACTtruth, Inc. and Impact Publishing Ink, Roy works to amplify underrepresented voices, especially minority authors, helping others turn pain into purpose. His bestselling memoir, Homeless by Choice: A Memoir of Love, Hate, and Forgiveness, and his growing collection of children’s books teach readers of all ages the values of resilience, courage, and hope. Roy’s life is a testament to what’s possible when someone chooses healing over hate, forgiveness over fear, and purpose over pain. His mission is simple: to remind the world that no matter where you come from, you can create a life filled with impact, truth, and love.
