“Sulie’s life is the best of humanity. She expresses love in all directions. My Bubbe, Lillian Swack, was blessed to be her friend having a special connection that defied convention between a young African American woman and an older white, Jewish woman in the 1960’s. There is something so very sacred when we pull people in close, especially those that society sees as ‘the other.’”
Daniel Kalman Epstein, Author & Photographer of Portraits in Faith, Cincinnati, Ohio
