Darnell Lamont Walker is a death doula and writer, a bridge guiding individuals and communities through grief, toward healing, meaning, and whatever joy remains. An Emmy-nominated children’s television writer (Work It Out Wombats!, Karma’s World, Blue’s Clues & You), he believes storytelling—whether for children or those facing life’s hardest transitions—is a path to connection, safety, and belonging. His upcoming book, Never Can Say Goodbye (Harper One), explores his experiences as a death doula, offering insight into loss, love, and the ways we find our way forward. Through words and witness, he helps others honor their stories, navigate the in-between, and embrace what comes next.
