Dwight Allen O'Neal is more than a brand — he's a movement. A NYC-based writer, producer, beauty mogul, and media personality, Dwight has spent years helping audiences navigate life's messiest moments with humor, honesty, and heart.
From the pages of The Advocate to the stages of keynote events across the country, Dwight brings his unique perspective as the self-proclaimed "Gay Boy Next Door" — relatable, unapologetic, and endlessly entertaining. Trained at the prestigious American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA), his artistry spans writing, performing, and producing content that speaks to the culture.
Life's biggest lessons come from life's biggest mistakes. Each week, Dwight dives deep into the "what ifs" and "if onlys" — the stories we all have but rarely share. Raw, real, and unfiltered conversations about love, ambition, identity, and everything in between.
Mistakes aren't just stumbling blocks — they're the sculptors that shape who we are. In this unflinching memoir, Dwight shares the moments that almost broke him and the lessons that ultimately built him.
