I love 💕 the “Pope keyboarding with Hopes!” Thank you Pope for your dedication to help others find their melody, and play to their on beat. Pope you are literally the real “Mac Man!” Also, thank you Lyn with 1 N for seeking resources for me when I was ready to trash my Mac Computer. One priceless way to give back as demonstrated in Pope’s bio is teaching blind skills. #PayItForward <div><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Oct 30, 2021, at 5:51 PM, Maggie Stringer via Community-Service <community-service@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:106%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Musicianship, one note, one man, serving all over town!

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:106%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Pope is a father of two children, a boy and a girl. He is a
fourth-generation musician raised on the south side of Chicago. He has been playing many instruments such as
the keyboard, organ, bass, and drums for a number of years now. His love for
Gospel and his musical talents, has allowed him to serve a local church as the
head musician! And to make it extra, extra special, it’s the same church where his
Grandfather served as a pastor. Pope’s all-time favorite gospel musician is his
Uncle, Kevin Bond from Chicago. Growing up, he had an extraordinary opportunity
to travel with his uncle, and immerse himself in the music industry. Observing the success of his uncle’s journey
inspired him to become a musician himself.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:106%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Pope’s melodious abilities has helped him to produced and skillfully
arranged music for the past three years. His creative thinking and artistic
gifts have pushed him to start his own business. Related Melody Music, LLC recently
celebrated its first milestone and is over a year old! Although Pope’s strong
suit is within the realm of gospel music production, he is more than willing to
work with all genres.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:106%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Let’s talk about serving his community! For the past six
years, he has been offering his musical talents by teaching others to play
piano, as well as, providing vocal lessons. His teaching abilities are not
limited to the world of music, he has also been volunteering his time in
teaching others how to navigate their Apple gadgets. He has helped Over 25 individuals
with understanding and learning their smart devices. Actually, this is how he
became involved with the Community Service Division. After spending time
teaching our own president, Jeanetta Price, on how to use her MacBook, he
started to explore the wonderfulness of the CSD. Now, he is a member of the
Willing Workers committee and has been instrumental in teaching our own
committee members how to navigate technology.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:106%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Pope has these magnetic dreams and aspirations for his
future. He has recently moved to Dayton, Ohio and has a burning desire to
release his own E.P or album in 2022. He also plans to open up a business and
be a valuable resource to others in honing their skill sets. His ultimate
professional goal, is to tear down barriers and employ others who might have
been overlooked by most. His hope is that he can employ them as subcontractors
and bridge that gap so they will eventually become business owners themselves.</p>

Bible verse, " Walk by Faith and Not by Sight.”</p>
