Donté (he/him) is a demi-theistic humanist mystic, life coach, erotic wellness guide, performance artist, reiki practitioner and minister who orients to the Pan-African or Africana aesthetic as the thread that connects African people throughout the diaspora. His work explores storytelling practices across the African diaspora, and emerges at the nexus of liturgical theology, embodiment, art, and social movements. His most recent project is exploring the relationship between Black, Queer and Humanist Identities and the concepts of Holiness, Worship, Liberation and the Future.

Donté has been affiliated with the Unitarian Universalist Association since 2016, and worships in the virtual community of Black Lives of Unitarian Universalism (BLUU). In 2025, he was ordained by The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries (TFAM). He holds Masters degrees in Black Studies and Religious Studies and is currently a Doctor of Ministry student at Meadville Lombard Theological School.
