Arron J Runnels (Founder of PrinceJadeNonProfit

General

am a creative entrepreneur and grant writer who designs high-end lighting under the brand IronGeist and develops digital media platforms for young creators. My goal is to provide youth with a sense of purpose and the tools they need to be seen and heard in the modern world.

Music

I enjoy singing and have a deep appreciation for Christian music and R&B love songs. These genres reflect my personal values and my creative side, providing a meaningful outlet alongside my work with the nonprofit.​I find that the uplifting nature of contemporary Christian music and the soulful storytelling in R&B align with my mission to inspire and support others. Whether I am focusing on my studies or designing new lighting fixtures, music is a constant presence that helps fuel my passion for helping youth find their purpose.

Movies

I enjoy martial arts movies and thrillers that focus on action rather than excessive violence or gore. My preference is for films that are cleaner and often have a Christian or faith-based perspective, prioritizing skilled choreography and suspense over blood and killing.

Television

I have a strong interest in police procedural shows like FBI and Law and Order: SVU. I find these programs engaging because they focus on investigation, the legal system, and the dedicated professionals who work within it.  ​My preference for these shows aligns with my broader interest in thrillers and action-oriented stories that prioritize suspense and professional skill. I enjoy seeing how teams work together to solve complex cases, which mirrors my own experience in management and my current focus on correctional support systems in my college studies.

Books

I am a student of the Bible and find great inspiration in the book Good Morning Holy Spirit by Benny Hinn. This book has helped me develop a deeper, more personal relationship with the Holy Spirit, which I see as a guiding presence in my life and work. ​I am also the author of two upcoming works that reflect my spiritual journey and my mission. The first is Prince Jade Revival, which explores the vision behind my nonprofit and the call to support foster youth. The second is The Vessel is Molded, a book that speaks to the process of being shaped by faith and purpose.
