more detailed and updated information

Hi, everyone. I apologize for taking so long to post this, but here's a little bit more detailed information about what's been happening with Terrain and Renata. Blogger Kenyon Farrow's post here...

... led me to AngryBrownButch's blog post here, which has a bunch of informative links...

... and which cross-posts to Feministe's blog here (which is exactly the same article, but with a few reader comments).

Some good information, including Renata's new contact information, a radio interview with Terrain and her mother Kimma, and a copy of the June 21, 2008 press release issued by Ralowe Ampu, can be found here:

And if anyone has any other NJ4 information that we should know about, please feel free to post it here. Thanks.

By the way, I haven't been in touch with Renata's mother in a while. That will have to wait another couple weeks or so. But I did get another letter from Patreese the other day. Her 21st birthday is this Friday, July 18. She's still in an excellent mood about the recent developments with Renata and Terrain. She also got the opportunity to talk with Terrain on the phone since Terrain's release. I'm surprised how poised and calm Patreese is under her circumstances. She's really doing us proud.

I told her in an earlier letter that I was proud of the way she's handling herself. Here's a little piece of how she answered me:

"I feel like I'm handling myself so well because of the support I have."

Our support matters to these young women. Thanks for keeping yourselves informed about the NJ4.
