There is a name written before birth, and a name a man grows into. Warren Hampton is both—once known to the world as Warren H. Stewart, Jr., now walking fully in the name his lineage always intended. Hampton is not a title he chose for branding. It is inheritance: the name of his great-grandmother Ruby, a woman of grace, elegance, and unshakable faith, carried forward as a torch rather than a relic. Four women shaped the man behind the name: Mama Mary, Mama Dee, Serena Michelle, and Roicia, mystical matriarchs whose grace, fire, and faith are woven into everything Warren builds, preaches, and creates.

That inheritance runs deeper still. His great-uncle, the late Rev. Dr. Timothy P. Mitchell, stood beside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as a fellow pastor and civil rights leader in New York—a bloodline of faith and justice Warren has spent his life stepping fully into. In 2018, he received the Arizona Martin Luther King, Jr. "Living the Dream" Award for that same call. His theology reaches beyond the Western canon into Ethiopian Orthodox tradition, and he carries the DNA of Martin Luther's righteous rebellion, without apology, in full authenticity, he is an apostle of new reformation.
