This week on Beyond Stillness: Stories After Stroke, we welcome guest Angel James. On the morning of February 4, 2023, she was singing in the choir, her voice resonating with joy, connection, and purpose. But by that evening, everything changed. A stroke stole Angel’s ability to speak, leaving her in silence, uncertain of what the future would hold.

This is a story of survival, resilience, and the power of reclaiming one’s voice. Through faith, community, and unwavering determination, she not only relearned to speak but discovered a deeper purpose—using her voice to inspire hope, foster connection, and remind us all of the strength found in sharing our stories.

Community Conversation Prompts:

• What is one thing you can do today to be a voice of connection and hope?
• What has helped you regain confidence in your voice?
