We had the good fortune of connecting with Lorenzo Davis and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Lorenzo, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I became a small business owner because many people I had the pleasure of meeting do not know why they engage in Risky behavior and suffering from mental health and/or substance abuse. Through my experiences one thing that I have learned that is you have to show people a reflection of themselves and meet them where they are in order to engage and connect with them to commit to treatment plans

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?

I am Lorenzo A. Davis, Aka (LHAYES) Recording Neo-Soul Artist, Community Health advocate, activist, Film Maker, Project Designer, Visionary Consultant and entrepreneur

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
One of my favorite places is going to spares bowling alley. That’s where I am in my comfort zone and I can really focus and really wind down and be myself. It’s like my safe space where I can be a kid again

Also, another good place to try out is one of my good favorite restaurants to eat. Its really a whole new world and a new atmosphere which I come here once a month
ZOI Restaurant & Lounge

To eat and relax and escape and Hallandale Beach on the pier is one of my favorite areas to think at night on the pier to see the stars and to known that you’re not alone

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My biggest influences have been my mother and grandmother, who laid the groundwork for the person I have become today. Facing many adversities, challenges, and stigma of “inner-city life”, my mother and grandmother proved that raising four (4) males to be different from the social standards set by society could be done. With their hard work, guidance, prayers, and perseverance; I was molded to show the character, morals, and intellect of an upright individual.
