From inner-city London to the world's wild places.
Born in Jamaica and raised from the age of six in inner-city London, Dwayne's early life was shaped by experiences that could easily have defined his future.
After becoming a victim of both knife and gun crime, a life-threatening incident became a turning point. Dwayne made the decision to change his life and reconnect with something that had always mattered to him — nature, wildlife and the outdoors.
In 2010, he set himself his first major expedition challenge, becoming the first black Briton to walk more than 400 nautical miles to the magnetic North Pole.
His journey has since taken him from polar environments to British countryside, television studios, schools, communities and major media platforms — always with the same purpose: inspiring people to believe that adventure can belong to them too.
