Henoc Maurice is a husband, father, and a leader by nature. Raised by parents who immigrated from Haiti, Henoc is first generation Haitian American. Growing up in Brooklyn, New York, came with its challenges. Henoc possessed an extremely high energy as a child which led to the struggles, he'd encounter throughout his school career.

Navigating the inner-city education system was an uphill battle for Henoc. He endured the trauma of peer pressure, bullying, and self-exploration that many children experience in grade school. He often got into physical fights resulting in multiple disciplinary and behavioral suspensions. Teachers and staff consistently passed judgment and mishandled situations because they misunderstood him. Due to his displayed uncontrolled behavior Henoc was falsely labeled an ADHD student.

During Henoc's adolescent years his parents relocated to the suburbs of Long Island, New York, where he'd have opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities. He eventually would take a liking to sports and began to channel his energy to inspire his peers. Later he became a team captain, youth leader and mentor for local organizations embodying his core values, accountability, consistency, and discipline.

Henoc resides in North Carolina where he’s employed in the Social Services field. He encounters children in the foster care system who must deal with unfortunate circumstances out of their control. He works closely with children who’ve suffered verbal and physical abuse as well as behavioral trauma. Henoc takes advantage of every opportunity he can to give encouragement to these children who are often overlooked and misunderstood just as he was. He realized very quickly the simplest gesture such as providing a listening ear can make all the difference for someone who feels unseen and unwanted.

Henoc Maurice has a passion to share his message for every child to hear: You are still here. You have purpose. You have a gift the world needs.
