My name is Garrison Redd I was born June 22,1988 in the Brownsville/Crown heights section of Brooklyn. My parents were both two hard working municipal employees in which at an early age they instilled in me discipline and work ethic. One of the greatest life lessons they ever thought me was never to "quit". Growing up I excelled scholastically and athletically, I was placed in the gifted program at the age of 8 after scoring in the top 3 percentile in various standardized exams. I played various sports growing up such as boxing, basketball, baseball, and football. In football I was a standout running back from youth football up until High School, in which i received various awards and accolades. Going into my senior year at James Madison High School I was outside on an ordinary summer night where I was randomly shot in my back which burned the nerves surrounding the t12 section of my spine, which left me unable to walk. Instead of feeling sorry for myself or depressed, I decided to triumph through the face of adversity. Most people would've felt that there life was coming to an end however I felt like my life was just beginning. At 17 years old after this catastrophic injury had occurred to me I still wasn't phased because it made me different. It made me think about the bigger picture that maybe I was put here to inspire everyone from the youth to elderly. In which I am on a Journey to achieve. Fast forward to present time I hold a Bachelor's degree in Finance from York College. I am a motivational speaker,model, fashion designer, entrepreneur, and an advocate for equal rights.

I am finally old enough to look back and see how God designed my life. I am now old enough to have fun and not apologize. I am old enough to be free to tell it like it is, not what you want to hear. I have had a powerful relationship with God since my childhood. I met Him first as I gazed into His awesome creation. Then He took time to talk to when I was nine, and tell me, "I have something I want you to do." My answer was an immediate yes. As far back as I can remember, other people have always been important to me. Like most kids starting out in the workforce, I has several jobs in places like grocery stores, fast foods restaurants, and gas stations. However, there was one thing that tried to get in the way of my success. I did not go to high school. I missed grades 9-12. I discovered that there are no dead ends, but many detours, in life. Not having a high school education closes the door t o going to college, entering the Military, and getting a well paying job. With that said, I eventually got my GED. That changed everything. Because of that one event, I was able to enter the military, then go to college, and Seminary. I almost completer my Masters degree, but never set foot in a high school. After working in several better jobs in the Juvenile Justice system, I landed a career in the Criminal Justice System of Texas. My calling to help others was lived out as I was able to help many criminals change their lives. I was a Parole Officer for 21 years, and retired. The next day after I retired, I stepped into the classroom of a Texas middle school as a Substitute teacher. The stories that were written in my life all of those years, are awesome. God was there all the way. In the schools I developed a plan, or ministry, to "Tell A Story, and Change a Life." I told stories of my life, and others, that touched the lives of students, changing many of them forever. The wonderful thing is that God is now writing a new chapter in my life. The greatest of them all is being written after I reached the age of 70. God called me one more time. This time, He has charged me with a mission to reach the next generation of students. Along with that specific group, I am also called, now, to reach Teachers, and elderly peoples, like myself. God called me to public speaking. I will be reaching out to make a difference in the lives of students, and my peers, and Teachers. I figure that if I am excited about what my life had been about, maybe I can inspire, and motivate others to have that kind of excitement as well. "Love can help someone to achieve a victory, and be proud of himself when he might not be able to by himself." I don't want my life to end until I have sung my last song, and written my last chapter.
