Hello Ijeoma,

I love your courage, and remember, we Black women need you! You're helping me to survive the fight even though I can't afford to buy a subscription. So I read every free article of yours that I can get my hands on. Don't eva give up!!!

I met you in 2018 or 2019 In Yakima at the Yakima casino arts conference hosted by Artist Trust. I saw you as you were going into one of your workshops. So I followed you simply because you are Black. So I attended and later realized I was in the wrong room.

I've written a Middle-Grade book with black twins protagonist, which was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. But, unfortunately, I can't get it published. No agent or publisher will touch it.

I'm a painter, author, filmmaker, and community social justice art educator chronicling the African American diaspora.

Thank you,

Adrienne La Faye
