Born November 21, 1984 in South Philadelphia, PA, Markeise Q. Washington was always more mature than his age suggested. He is absolutely making his mark with his debut novel “Entrepreneur”, and the young C.E.O is working diligently to get 5ive Star Publications up and running.

Having been somewhat of a Nomad during his childhood, He is determined to excel at whatever he puts his mind to. Becoming his own boss was one of his goals and aspirations. Being surrounded by supportive parents and siblings only make his journey all the better. No one said that it would be easy, but everything worth having is worth working hard for, became his mantra.

Destined and encouraged to do great things Markeise is constantly reminded of the early and unfortunate passing of his biological mother whom is indeed the catalyst to his success. Proactive, determined, thought provoking and intelligent Markeise Q. Washington will always and forever remind us that “Dreams are today’s answers to tomorrow’s questions”.
