Ernest Matthews

Born in Southeast Washington, DC, Ernest began creating at a young age. After moving to Pittsburgh, PA, and growing up in some of the city’s toughest neighborhoods, he learned patience and resilience through struggle. Writing became his outlet—a way to express what lived within.

From poetry to songwriting and now authoring books, Ernest has always been driven by a desire to inspire and impact others. His latest book of affirmations was written to help people shift their perspective and transform their inner dialogue. Life’s journey often requires principles we return to again and again, and affirmations continue to be a powerful anchor for navigating today’s challenges.
