Lanre Onigbinde-Bey (Obey) has lived in Canada since he was 10 years old. After his family settled in Toronto, Canada, he spent many of his years living in the neighbouring city of Scarborough. At a young age, Lanre was given much responsibility having to care for his mother and two younger siblings. The pressure he faced proved to be too much for one young man to handle. 

In 2001, Lanre welcomed into the world, his daughter, Tatiana.  Shortly after her birth, Lanre and her mother separated and Lanre was incarcerated, sentenced to life imprisonment.  During their time apart, Lanre was determined to remain a part of his daughter’s life.  He stayed in contact by writing to her once a month and building a relationship with a child he was never able to see. This became the inspiration for 27th Letters.

 Lanre now lives in Scarborough where he continues to be a strong foundation for his family and an active member of his community.Lanre has also founded 12:06 Studio, through which he works as a freelance photographer and videographer.  This operation is a means of social outreach for disenfranchised communities within the Greater Toronto Area.  http://yourbrillianceunlimited.com/
