He's proudest of the communities within LWM, strangers united by powerful and impactful experiences, underserved people connecting around mutual challenges, hopes and dreams.

“The Night They Took Me From My Mother, My Only Thought Was School—And Keeping My Promise To My Brother.”

“The night they took me from my mother, I wasn’t scared of losing her—I was terrified of losing school. It was my only safe place, my only constant. I had made a promise to my brother, and nothing—not foster care, not instability—could break it. This is the story of how education became my lifeline and led me to a future I never thought possible.”

Authentic Italian ‘Sunday’ Tomato Sauce And Meatballs

“What I wouldn’t give to wake to the scent of my mother’s Sunday sauce bubbling away on the burner again! It was the best aroma in the world, better than coffee brewing, better than bacon frying. More than a quarter of a century later, I still miss my mom terribly. But the more I cook, the more I feel like her.”
