He was born in Houston, Texas, in 1942 but raised in Conroe, Texas, where he finished high school. In the earlier part of his adulthood, he spent quite a few years in Los Angeles, California, until his mother decided to move the Chicago, Illinois, and he soon followed in 1966, and this would be the place where his life truly began. August met his wife, Ruthie Malone, and they were married in 1968. He began working at the Jolliet Youth Center in Jolliet, Illinois, where he wrote his first poem, titled “He Had Nothing to Do,” in 1974. This was the start of his creative flow.
In 1978, he and his wife moved to Seattle, Washington, where he was blessed by God to raise his children. He united with the Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Robert L. Manaway Sr., where he learned much more on how to trust in God and study his word daily.
In 2006, he and his family moved to Spring, Texas, uniting with the New Destiny Praise and Worship Center under the leadership of Pastor Ethan Ogletree Sr. (an extremely powerful teacher).
The best part of his life is his wife, Ruthie; his children, August P., Lisa L., Terry L., Doris L., August L. III; his grandchildren; and his sisters, Pauline Barnes and Rita Dunson.
