On the 20th anniversary of 9/11, the reporter was tasked with writing The Story from a new angle. DC had a lot going on, not just 9/11. When she went to do the research my story was the only thing that popped up.

At the time I had no online presence because I didn't want any. She finally contacted Medium in order to track me down. They told her how to leave a Private Note on my piece with her contact info. When I saw the note I Googled her to make sure she was legit. Then I emailed her my phone number.
