Discover Your Giving Heart: Jail Chaplains
Ever since he was eight-years-old, Wil Dort has been cutting hair. Learning from his uncles and practicing on other kids, he was always fascinated by the ability to turn hair into something beautiful. After coming to the United States from Haiti in 1997, Dort continued to cut hair, learning how to transition from scissors to clippers and improving himself all along the way. However, Dort’s journey from immigrant to barbershop owner didn’t follow a straight and narrow path.

Everywhere She Goes: Returning to the Midwest with Lissie
Elisabeth Maurus, more widely known by her stage name Lissie, is an American singer-songwriter originally from Illinois. She stands out from the rest thanks to vocals that demand attention and her dreamy, yet completely down-to-earth catalog of music. After years of living in California and touring all over the world, she recently returned to the Midwest to live on a farm in eastern Iowa. Here, she has transitioned to working as an independent artist and enjoyed the benefits of not being bound to a major record label. She continues to wow with her dusky, low vocals and rock-‘n-roll meets Americana spirit, exploring songwriting at her own pace.
