Inspired by Capuchin friar Brother Vince Reyes’ daily conversations with soup kitchen guests, My Name Is . . . gives a glimpse into the lives of people who are largely ignored or misunderstood by our society.

“Many may see a homeless individual as a failure,” Brother Vince explains. “But that person has his or her own story. They have dreams, aspirations, families, and fears. This book was compiled to show that we are all the same. We’re not so different.”

Each individual featured in My Name is....was professionally photographed.  Contributing photographers include Detroit Free Press’ Ed Haun and Chip Somodevilla; Detroit News’ Steve Perez and Elizabeth Conley;  and Capuchin friar Vincent Reyes.  Not pictured below: Chip Somodevilla

My Name Is . . . gives life to the numbers behind the soup kitchen. It is a powerful testament to the strength, hope, and courage of Detroit’s neediest residents. For anyone interested in sociology or urban issues, this volume will be a moving and informative read.
