Dasia
Adrienne is SJ’s mother, and she’s also a lawyer who agrees to take on Quan’s case. According to Justyce, she has a lot of experience with cases like Quan’s in which a Black young man is incarcerated after ending up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Quan is skeptical of her at first, but he soon comes to appreciate her. Unlike Quan’s other lawyers, Adrienne actually listens to what he has to say and believes his version of events. Most surprisingly, though, she’s the first lawyer Quan has ever had who wants to see him be entirely free and reintegrate into society. She also acts as a mentor to Justyce, who is an aspiring lawyer himself.

She came in and we talked for a while and she asked me a bunch of questions the other dude never asked. And I’m pretty sure she actually believes everything I told her. Which was even a little bit uncomfortable despite the fact that I was telling the truth.
I just didn’t realize what a difference it would make to be in conversation with someone who genuinely wants to keep me OUT of prison altogether. Shit made me realize that in all my years dealing with the system, I ain’t never had an attorney who wanted to see me totally free.
