Raymond Quattlebaum

Hello! Allow me to introduce myself! My name is Raymond Quattlebaum. My nationality is African American. I am the third oldest son in a family of five. I am 5′ 11″. My sign is Aries. I live in the upper Westside in Manhattan, NY. I know what you are thinking. Quattlebaum? Yes! A unique name in structure, as well as appearance; quite unique, I would say.

I always had a love for poetry. I love working out. I love music. I even enjoy partying and clubbing but my passion is poetry. It all started in public school, when I was a young kid growing up in P.S. 84. I remember writing a poem for my third-grade teacher Mrs. Albert. She liked it so much she put in the school’s newspaper, which was quite interesting and inspiring to me. Because it was my first time writing poetry, it was amazing. It made me feel good about myself and pushed me to write poetry even more as time went on.
