Dive into the remarkable life story of Laurice Arab, a 90-year-old woman whose journey exemplifies the power of connection and love. In this episode of our life stories podcast, we unwrap the layers of Laurice’s life, from her humble beginnings in the Lebanese village of Diman in 1935 to becoming a matriarch whose meals were an act of love, binding her family across three countries. After experiencing devastating losses early on, Laurice transformed grief into a legacy of warmth, kindness, and resilience. Known for her unbreakable rule of never eating alone, she turned her kitchen into a sacred space for family gatherings, embodying the true spirit of what it means to live fully despite life's challenges. This episode is a documentary-style portrayal that honors not just her life but many ordinary lives that shape our world, reminding us of the extraordinary in everyday moments. Join us as we honor Laurice’s story, because real people, real lives, are never ordinary.
