Celebrating Love, Legacy, and a Special Birthday: The Re-Release of Dear Usha: Messages to My First Born

November 25th is a date filled with love and meaning—a day we celebrate the birthday of Usha Reign, the bright-eyed daughter who inspired a timeless book and a father's enduring legacy.

In honor of this special day,  I’m re-releasing my first published work, Dear Usha: Messages to My First Born. This deeply personal and poetic collection of letters, poems, and stories was written for Usha as a newborn and now serves as a beacon of love, hope, and inspiration for families everywhere.

A Time Capsule of Love and Wisdom

The pages of Dear Usha capture the joys, fears, and dreams of a young father navigating the uncharted waters of parenthood. LaShawn’s words, written with vulnerability and profound love, are more than just a gift to his daughter—they are a gift to all of us.

These letters feel like a time capsule, offering readers a glimpse into the heart of a man determined to uplift, protect, and guide his child through life’s complexities. As Usha continues to grow into the powerful woman she is destined to be, her father’s words remain a testament to a love that transcends space and time.
