Terrance French, Program Director
From growing up in the Housing Projects to losing his mother to HIV/AIDS at the age of 12, to being sexually abused as a child, life was hard trying to find love and acceptance with no success. Feeling the thirst of an authentic, loving relationship, he set out on a spiritual journey to quench it. Through this journey, his gift of Poetry, Music and Storytelling was cultivated. Terrance French has led Community Programs in Nashville, TN and Johannesburg, South Africa for over 20 years.
