Description:

In his real life accounts, Tiriq R. Callaway will take you on a journey through his most endearing childhood moments, growing up in a disadvantaged neighborhood & brave reflections on his family's hard times. His tenacity & relentless fight to break free from all environmental barriers to graduate with his Master's degree in social work encourages others to be resilient in an effort to obtain your goals in life - ultimately inspires all to defy their past for a prosperous future, and not allowing your past to define you, but using those past experiences to make you a better person today.

Tiriq R. Callaway is from Atlantic City, New Jersey who began writing since he was younger and has always used his gift of writing as an escape route from his troublesome surroundings. He has used his experiences as motivation to push him towards success so that he could be of a blessing to others in the world. He attended Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey where he received his Bachelor's Degree in Social work in 2010, and also obtained his Master's Degree in Social Work from Monmouth University in West Long Branch, New Jersey in 2013
