Damiek resides with his family in the city of “Champions,” which is Inglewood, California. He has been an educator for close to 25 years and considers himself a lifelong student athlete. Teaching is his purpose and duty. Writing is his passion. This is his first novel though he is an accomplished spoken word artist, playwright, and director (Jumping the Broom, the 12 Jewels, Canary Park and Randi’s Party). He is extremely proud of his Barbadian/Bajan roots, family and culture which has always been his inspiration.
