R.L. Byrd was born in the coastal town of Brunswick, Georgia, in a time where America and the South was growing and evolving. Raised by his grandparents during his early childhood, it was during this time, in the 1970’s, that R.L. developed his “old soul” listening to the many hardship, faith-based and enduring stories of Life, Love and the never-ending search for Acceptance in the world. It would be this early upbringing that would shape his world not only as a person, but as a writer.

“When it comes to relationships; sometimes you get it right, and sometimes it gets you right.”
R.L. Byrd, Black Coffee

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
Steve Jobs

“When it comes to relationships; sometimes you get it right, and sometimes it gets you right.”
R.L. Byrd, Black Coffee

“A race, like an individual, lifts itself up by lifting others up.”
Booker T. Washington
