When award-winning executive producer and creator Adell Coleman lost her mother to violence, her world changed forever. In this deeply moving conversation, she shares how her new project, Echoes of Her: To Mom, With Love, helps Black women navigate grief, honor their mothers, and find healing through community.
In this episode, we discussed:
• The story behind Echoes of Her and why Adell felt called to create it
• Navigating trauma, motherhood, and grief while learning to ask for help
• Why community and storytelling are essential for healing
• How grief evolves—but never fully disappears
• Finding joy and remembering loved ones through shared stories
