Sade, as a young Black & Andean woman, witnessed the premature death of her Father figure Anthony Tony Mann and mother Marcia Elaine Byfield against the backdrop of a race war and a global pandemic; and it’s in moments of such unrest and sudden change, questions concerning identity percolate as we try to reestablish our purpose.
