David L. Wadley is an award-winning author, filmmaker, entrepreneur, and accredited investor whose work explores the intersection of artificial intelligence, finance, government, politics, and social change through commercially driven storytelling. Drawing upon decades of experience in Hollywood, public service, and financial markets, Wadley creates stories that combine cinematic suspense, timely themes, and contemporary Black protagonists.

​

Wadley is the creator of The AI Revolution: African American Trilogy, an adaptation-ready book series consisting of The AI Revolution Will Not Be Televised, Passport Bro, and Bulls, Bears and Bad Bitches. His work has received major recognition, including the 2025 Literary Titan Gold Book Award, awarded on April 4, 2025—exactly 57 years after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

 

The date holds particular significance to Wadley’s work, which carries themes of Black economic empowerment, ownership, investing, and wealth creation into the age of artificial intelligence, echoing the economic-justice mission that defined the final chapter of Dr. King’s work. Wadley was also selected as a 2025 Readers’ Favorite Finalist — Fiction: Urban Genre, in an international competition drawing thousands of entries from authors around the world.
