Martez & Makaila Brayboy
Martez Brayboy, in 2021 was granted the opportunity to spend the summer with his daughter for the first time ever! As he describes, it was such a beautiful moment in his life, he decided to write a children book which he dedicated to her. He did something amazing by giving her authorship at the age of 9 years old! She is now a published author! This children book is called"SUMMERTIME WITH DAD! Author: Makaila Brown Brayboy
Even though the mother is very important in the development of a child, the father is also just important with that development. When both parents are active in a child's life no matter the status of the parents the development of a child is that much stronger. I believe it is important that no matter the status of the relationship co-parenting is of the most importance.
Congrats to Martez & Makaila and support by clicking "SUMMERTIME WITH DAD!"
Legacy Works Enterprises support writers that is CHANGING THE NARRATIVE!

Penname: Laj Posey is a tribute to my two sons, Anthony and Justis.
(coming out this summer with my first novel called “Catch Me: The Life Ruiner Serial Killer”. “Ruiner” is a colloquial expression employed by my character.) It’s a thriller and will have you off your seat.
SUMMARY
The protagonist is a serial killer named Jamal Stone, aka “Roc”, who was set up on a drug deal by one of his closest friends, Tanya Spencer. He served 10 years in prison due to this betrayal. Roc comes home after serving his time, and through a series of adventures locates Tanya, and avenges himself by killing her. Through this experience of chase and revenge, Roc becomes a vigilante exacting justice by killing people who have ruined other people’s lives. What drives Roc is the intriguing combination of a sense of justice and the thrill of violence. The FBI gets on the trail of “The Life Ruiner Serial Killer”, trying to put a stop to the murder spree. Even though a pattern emerges that this murderous spree is partly motivated by the wish to do good, Jamal plays a dangerous game. He has everything to lose but loves the thrill of trying to see if they can….. CATCH ME!
Laj Posey is also a published poet in Missive Letter, produced by NYU Gallatin. 4 poems called "The Writer", "The Picture", "An Everlasting Bond", and "Love Remembers" from the next book he plans on releasing called "Darkness Through the Lights"
