This Black History Month, we’re honoring Reverend Samuel, “Rev”, and the love he brings to our community. When Rev was unable to attend in person gatherings due to his health, our team organized a special visit to his apartment so his group could bring the club to him. During the visit, the husband of one of his fellow members, a jazz musician, played songs from several of Rev’s favorite artists, from Louis Armstrong to Miles Davis. The room was filled with music, laughter, and deep connection, and Rev was moved to tears more than once.
Touched by the experience and the love from his group and Life Story Club, he wrote “The Life Story Club of Love,” which he later shared with his weekly Thursday group. His words are tender, joyful, and full of heart, just like him. You can listen to his story in the Life Story Club Library. We are so grateful to share his voice and to have him in our community.
