Montero Morton
My name is Montero Morton and I am who I am, no excuses. I’m part of YouthForce NOLA LAUNCH here in New Orleans, and we get business training and take business course classes online at Southern New Hampshire University. I am currently twenty years old and I identify as an African American, homosexual and a person who stutters. My passion/dream in life is to be a successful published writer and actor. My goal in life is to reach that one boy or girl to let them know they’re not alone, and that everything will be okay. That will be enough for me. To motivate and inspired others in my craft.
