My name is Lhegend Carter.
I am 31 and was born in the Bronx, and raised there and in Harlem New York.
I am the third child of 8 siblings. We were all raised by my step-father,
who is the only father I know. My mother left my biological father before I
was a year old so I have no memory of him. My life has been filled with many
experiences, some even that lesser men would have succumbed to; which have
definitely made me a better, stronger, and wiser man. Through the blessing
of meeting Mrs. Yolanda I am blessed to reach you. I aspire to give you a
few words that may lift your day, possibly put things in perspective, and
sometimes make you say hmmm.
