Many would say that LaWayne resisted societal beliefs that inner-city youth will be affiliated with a gang, be incarcerated, or deceased by age of twenty-five. Life for LaWayne could have been easily written for him and ended tragically, but instead, by the age of ten, he found the power of a creative mind and a mighty ballpoint pen. At the age of fifteen, LaWayne began to chart his own destiny despite the negative societal influences that threatened his future. Tours to local colleges and the medias glimpse of what college had to offer, led LaWayne to set his sights on becoming the first of his family to graduate from college. LaWayne completed his undergraduate studies at Rutgers College, New Brunswick, NJ and his graduate coursework at Rowan University, Glassboro, NJ. He has dedicated seventeen years to education and is currently an elementary school assistant principal. LaWayne resides in New Jersey with his wife and two sons.
