JETT JAMES PRUITT is a Pulitzer Prize-nominated, bestselling author, journalist, and political strategist. He is the founder and editor-in-chief of the political news website TheGenZPost.com, and considered one of the leading political voices of Generation Z.

 

Born on May 25, 2005, Jett was raised by a single Native American (Taino Arawak) mother in New York City. His unique interest in politics began at the age of nine, blossoming with the 2016 presidential election. At the age of 14, he became one of the U.S. Press Association’s youngest members in history.

 

His first book, THROUGH THE EYES OF A YOUNG AMERICAN, was published days after his fifteenth birthday. It reached Amazon's Top 20 Bestsellers in Politics, spent more than 18 months on Amazon's Top 100 Bestsellers in Politics, and was nominated by his publisher for the 2021 Pulitzer Prize.

 

Jett is a registered tribal member of the United Confederation of Taino People (UCTP). He is also a member of the Indigenous Journalists Association, the United Nations Association of the United States of America (UNA-USA), the United National Indian Tribal Youth (UNITY), and The Authors Guild Union.

Jett simultaneously earned a UK Cambridge International AICE Diploma with Distinction and a U.S. High School Diploma, Summa Cum Laude, in May 2024. While in school, he won multiple 'Best Speaker' awards at Model United Nations conferences, served three years as Student Government Class President, and was Valedictorian out of 1163 students in his high school graduating class.

Jett also served as a National Board Member on Harvard University's Youth Advisory Board; Government Affairs Liaison for the non-profit homeless charity, CareBag; and Producer of the Careology Radio Talk Show on WPSL 1590 AM. He continues to serve as a U.S. Political Consultant specializing in Generation Z voter trends for various news outlets, including Nikkei Asia.

 

Today, Jett is a first-year, B.A. International Politics student at the prestigious University of London Institute in Paris (ULIP). He is the First-Year BA1 Representative of the ULIP Student Union, and an active member of ULIP's Model U.N. Society. Most notably, Jett enjoys living in Paris full-time and visiting his family in Palm Beach, Florida over the holidays.

Over the next several years, Jett looks forward to writing more books, pursuing a Masters degree at a powerhouse institution, and ultimately working in Europe and Washington, D.C. in the areas of politics, journalism, or international relations.

​

His highly-anticipated second book — THE PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE: What America's Political Parties Must Do To Win Over Generation Z — is due for worldwide release in major bookstores in early 2025.
