Willie Jackson

Willie Don Jackson III, a man deeply connected to his work, is the driving force behind Kingdom Influence, a nonprofit organization based in Michigan. In his role, Willie's personal commitment is evident as he helps shape the organization's mission of fostering personal development and promoting literacy across different generations.

Originally from Muskegon, Michigan, Willie has deep roots in his hometown but has since made Detroit, Michigan, his home. During the water crisis, his relocation to Flint, Michigan, to work with youth and families reflects his commitment to community service and desire to make a meaningful impact wherever he goes.

In addition to his involvement with Kingdom Influence, Willie has ventured into the transformative writing journey. As a co-author of Out of Order, he offers insights into his personal experiences as a stepfather, shedding light on the emotional journey of losing his wife’s son, whom he regarded as a “son.” Through candid storytelling, Willie encourages fellow fathers to embrace vulnerability during grief, fostering a culture of openness and support among men.

Out of Order marks Willie's debut as an author, signaling a new chapter in his drive for self-expression and advocacy. As he navigates the complexities of fatherhood and family life, Willie's words resonate with authenticity and compassion, offering solace and guidance to readers facing similar challenges.

Besides his professional endeavors, Willie finds fulfillment in his role as a husband and father. Married to Brigitte Jackson, Willie shares a loving bond with his wife, their eight adult children (one now being Forever 26), and thirteen grandchildren. Together, they form a tight-knit family unit that prioritizes love, empathy, and mutual support.

Through his work with Kingdom Influence and contributions to Out of Order, Willie Don Jackson III embodies the values of compassion, resilience, and community service. His dedication to making a positive difference in the lives of others inspires all who know him.
