I write because I don't know how not to.
Darnell Lamont Walker is an Emmy-nominated screenwriter, documentary filmmaker, and death and grief worker dedicated to storytelling that heals, challenges, and connects. His writing credits include Work It Out Wombats! (PBS Kids), Karma’s World (Netflix), and Blue’s Clues & You (Nickelodeon), where he crafts narratives that inspire and empower young audiences.
Walker is a filmmaker whose documentaries - Seeking Asylum, Outside the House, and Set Yourself on Fire - explore social justice, identity, and the human experience, shedding light on stories often left untold. His work as a death doula and grief guide further deepens his storytelling, creating space for conversations around loss, healing, and the ways we navigate life’s transitions. Whether through film, television, or end-of-life care, his mission remains the same - to help people find meaning, connection, and a place where their stories are honored.
