Meet Dr. Richard Morris
Author. Speaker. Scholar. Survivor.
Dr. Richard Morris is more than just an author—he is living testimony that the human spirit, when anchored in faith and purpose, can overcome even the darkest circumstances. From years spent behind prison walls to earning his PhD and transforming lives, his journey is not just inspirational—it’s revolutionary.
Born and raised in an environment plagued by generational trauma, poverty, systemic injustice, and broken institutions, Richard was introduced early to pain, abandonment, and survival. His early life was a mirror of the very struggles that send so many young Black men into the criminal justice system. But unlike many, Richard broke free—not just from physical chains, but from the mental and emotional cycles that kept him bound.

about the book
From Prison to PhD is the raw, unforgettable memoir of Dr. Richard Morris. A man who went from solitary confinement to doctoral defense, from a cell block to a classroom, and from hopelessness to divine calling.
This is not fiction. This is not embellished.
This is the true story of a young Black man raised in poverty, shackled by generational trauma, consumed by anger, and pulled into a life that almost destroyed him. But what was meant to break him became the very path to his breakthrough.
