Singer Falaine Dora recently brought smiles, warmth, and a sense of comfort to the elderly residents of Plaisance, using the power of her voice and presence to brighten their day. Through heartfelt songs and meaningful conversations, she shared moments that left a lasting impact on everyone involved.

Falaine says her visits come from a genuine love for being around elders.

“They carry so much wisdom, warmth, and humor. Once you start talking with them, you’re drawn in. They truly appreciate your presence,” she shared. “When it was time for me to leave, seeing the sadness on their faces touched my heart. It made me realize that I don’t need to wait for special occasions. Whenever I have time, I’ll come and spend it with them. It’s new for me, but it feels right.”

Moved by the experience, Falaine has decided to make her visits to the Plaisance Elderly Home a regular tradition, turning her simple act of kindness into a yearly commitment of love, music, and companionship.

A chat with...Larry Baron

Dreams and passions of a rising actor

by H. Siu

In this Q&A, we step inside the mind of young actor and performer Larry Baron, as he opens up about the young man he is backstage. He considers a small circle as his real friends, and values genuine connections more than anything.
Those close to him know him as confident, energetic, and someone always ready to tell stories that spark laughter. Family plays a grounding role in his life; not just supporting his journey as an actor, but encouraging him to be the man and human being that he is today. Their guidance allows him to move forward with purpose. At the core of Larry is his deep desire to learn; as someone drawn to history and old stories, he finds inspiration in the past, and curiosity is what shapes his craft and drives his artistic growth.
