Regular Club Meeting - Samuel Johns, Alaska Forget Me Not, Homeless Efforts in Anchorage

Although Johns has never been homeless, he has had his share of personal struggles. He's a recovering alcoholic who has been sober for eight years.

"I found my outlet through music. That's what really helped me sober up," John says. Currently, he's trying to make it as an artist who blends hip-hop with his Athabascan (Native Alaskan) culture.

He believes everyone can relate to music, and that's what he brings when volunteering at Bean's Cafe, a nonprofit organization that has been serving meals to the homeless in Anchorage since 1979.

Johns serves up drumming and singing in his native language at Bean's and invites others to dance and sing along.

Johns has been featured on many national news/information outlets for his approach to helping the homeless.
