Meet Samuel LaFortune!
My name is Samuel LaFortune and I am a music artist, fashion stylist for a group called Wavybunch, educator, and chess instructor. I have been running the chess club at the Washington Park Library for 15 years and I am now working with Jose Ramirez to facilitate chess in the park. I’m very passionate about giving back to my community that helped shaped me into the man I am today.
I love Roger Williams Park because I grew up here in Washington Park. I have so many great memories with family, friends and community programs that I participated in here at Roger Williams Park and at the zoo. There’s always something fun to do either with friends or family, there’s no place like it in Providence. I now have the privilege of raising my son in the same community and park that I grew up in and loving every moment of it.
