Meeting Willie Brown for the first time

Willie Brown and I

A lady friend of mine who attended Spelman College informed me that she had a professor whose husband was deaf. Knowing that I volunteer and mentor athletes at the Georgia School for the Deaf in Cave Springs, she asked if I knew a man named Willie Brown and I said no. After not knowing who he was, I asked my friend for permission to introduce me to her professor's husband. Willie Brown and I exchanged numbers and got to know one another. As we go along, I have learned a lot of interesting things about him. One week before the Mike Glenn's event which took place at Townsend Center at University of West Georgia, he invited me to the event. Hours before the event started, we met for the first time and had very good conversation about our personal lives and discussed our childhood experiences.
