Hope Filled Meditations of the Heart |
Over the course of my 60 plus years of life I've experienced some things, been exposed to many things, and have come to realize a good number of things about life and my location within it. So please come sing a song with us, read a few words with us, even possibly do a dance with us at UUCLV as I unpack my current reflections during this Black History Month 2023.
