@adriannefblack.bsky.social Hello Adrianne, I'm Sandy Tolan. I'm a professor at USC in LA. I was doing research for a book when I came across your moving and brave memoir. I am hoping I could talk to you about a book I'm working on - it would be easier to explain in a call. atolan@usc.edu thanks. -
