S4 #44 Adoptee Brian
**Trigger warning** We do talk about some triggering subjects such as sexual assault and child abuse, please be aware of that in case these subjects will trigger you.
I had a delightful conversation with Brian an adoptee I met at the Untangling Our Roots Summit in Kentucky last year. He was the emcee at the 2024 summit which just happened in Denver last weekend!
He is an actor and he writes plays. His solo show play "Blank" referred to the space on his original birth certificate where he didn't have a name. He performed it all around the country. Just before the pandemic hit he was supposed to premier his second play @atghostkingdom, but alas that was put to a stop when lock down happened, so he got creative again and turned it into a film he recorded on his iPhone! He showed that film at the summit last year, and I was so moved by it. I believe any adoptee can find something to relate to in it.
I asked him about possibly doing a zoom event where we show the film, and do a Q & A with him after, (TBA).
