About Maurice Dwayne Smith:
Maurice Dwayne Smith, was born in Paris, France, the youngest of two Army brats, to Master Sergeant Ruben and Nancy Smith, while his dad was on tour and his mom worked as a teacher in an Army school. His sister Shevawn and him flourished within the French majestic lifestyle, learning to play piano like little virtuosos and his parents enjoyed the night life, which the Eiffel Tower luxuriously witnessed before them. The Army base named S.H.A.P.E , which housed thousands of Army families, was adorned with flags, had a football field and contained working quarters and apartments for its denizens--The Smiths lived idyllically, and resiliently off base, amidst Italians, British,French and many other nationalities.
Hailing from his parents Southern sharecropper, and store owner lineages', his family enjoyed a fairly racist vacant existence, as the racism gutting the South was a thorn, which hadn't the elasticity to stretch across the ocean to annihilate or terrorize them ------Maurice was ignorant to that evil!
Meanwhile a war was raging in Vietnam. Inside France its President Charles DeGaul fell out of love with America and sent its ambassadors and military back home. Settling in Charleston, South Carolina, which Maurice grew to vehemently dislike, his mom's hometown, he and Shevawn began their American upbringing. Notwithstanding his Dad's deployment to Vietnam, the advent of racism sticking its ugly head into their lives, and being separated from Dad, the family acquired new friends--but Maurice pined for his British friends the Huggins, especially Briggit----and life progressed sluggishly, riding upon the back of a Catholicism vibe from elementary through high school.
Like most little boys Maurice dreamed of playing sports, as his piano playing days died upon arrival in america, he dabbled in all facets of athleticism but the only thing that securely fastened upon him and which he was destined to pursue professionally was journalism, and he majored in it when he entered college at The University of South Carolina.
Four years of school went by, filled with hard work but unfortunately harder partying, he dropped out--NOT FLUNKED OUT--and joined the Army, which he figured would allow him to pursue his dad's footsteps.
After joining the military, he unfortunately became injured, left honorably and settled into The Big Apple and was determined to make it, die and eat the maggot in that crazy Big Apple if necessary, as he was simply not going to be enslaved to the Charlestonian "web of terror anymore"----there always seemed to be employment for everyone else there but him.
Interestingly enough, he got married, moved back to Charleston, and fathered two little girls and divorced all in the span of years upon resurfacing back in the South!
Strangely enough, he encountered problems even bigger than unemployment so he was urgently, and miraculously forced to hitchhike out of the South, landing in Los Angeles CA, where his old vibe of "eating that maggot" resurfaced. He finally felt that he had found himself a home!
Upon landing in tinseltown, he forged a relationship with the love of his life--not his ex wife--who was a liaison to many life changing jobs, such as AT&T, which payed for the completion of his Bachelors of Science Bus Admin in Management degree at The University of Redlands Redlands, CA. His infatuation with the entertainment field led him into acting where he eventually earned his Sag-Aftra card and got an online tv show in Hollywood, CA.
In conclusion, one eventful night Maurice met Maria Amor, a former Miss Philippines, who eventually became a Princess, and Queen and CEO of the nonprofit We Care for Humanity. They became friends and eventually forged a working relationship where Maurice became her media guy and now Ambassador, and Publicity Director for WCH.
