ODE TO THE GROVE

Ode to the Grove: Rooted in Love is a love letter expressing my gratitude for growing up in the community of Love Grove. The community in and of itself may not have seemed like much to an outsider, but the people living there made it special. The neighborhood lived out the words: “Love your neighbor as yourself”.

Love Grove allowed me to breathe in a time when that was not easy. It nurtured me and sheltered me yet prepared me to face the world with faith and conviction. For me, there will never be a place as special as Love Grove.
