About Darryl Breland
Businessman. Author. Papa D. Storyteller.
A Mississippi creator whose interests span books, children’s entertainment, podcasts, video production, travel and long-form storytelling.
A life with more than one chapter
Experience became stories. Stories became worlds.
Darryl Breland has spent a lifetime building businesses, meeting people and collecting stories. He is a Mississippi businessman, author, storyteller, insurance professional and multimedia creator.
As Papa D, he creates family-friendly adventures inspired by stories once told to his children and grandchildren. Through Me and You and Kalamazoo, Papa D’s Corner and Storytime by Papa D, he brings those ideas to life through animation, video, audio and books.
Breland.biz is the home for that creative work. It is personal, imaginative, sometimes surprising and always growing.
“I believe every life holds a story worth telling—and every good story can take us somewhere new.”Visit Breland Benefits & Insurance, Darryl’s separate professional venture ↗
