ABOUT ME

Lawrence holds a Master’s in Planning with an emphasis in Social & Community planning from the University of Southern California and a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences in Urban Studies and Public Policy from Dillard University. He was recently selected as 40 Under 40 Honoree by his Alma Mater Dillard University in 2020 at the age of 30.

Lawrence is an active member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. He enjoys traveling, outdoor and fitness activities, art and museums, and sports.

His first blog post How To Make An Impact At Your New Job in 90 days was inspired by his time at the city of Clearwater in the Planning and Development department, overseeing all neighborhoods and neighborhood associations in Clearwater. He organized several events, projects and completed the city’s first placemaking project (Pop- Up North Marina: A Community Streets Experiment and Festival) that made headlines.

Lawrence is a scholar, planning professional, mentor and believes in giving back through community service and mentorship. Lawrence recently moved to Miami, but has lived in Florida for the past five years.

He started his business LYPLANNING two years ago that focuses on planning, travel and inspiration. Lawrence goes by the name Mr. Four Quarters because he breaks down every year into specific areas and goals every three months with challenges, tips and motivation to help people pursue their goals. Some past examples of quarters are health and fitness, self-discovery, mindset, education, and creativity, just to name a few.

Lawrence is a life coach dedicated to helping people level up and become the best version of themselves. He recently launched his first product from his GREATER collection October 2. Buy yours today here.
