A Quick Recap 

Tuesday, April 13th at 7 was Sami Speaks !! This was such a truly  inspiring event. It was wonderful to hear Sami’s life story and how everything in his life has impacted him. Personally, I took a lot from that event, I hope you did too. If you want to contact Sami, you can here, he is always open to answer any questions you may have. 

Look Forward To
