Presents, Black to the Beginning – December 1, 2023

Fresh “Lev” White hosts Friends Dr. Samantha Coleman and Sandria Washington both discovered as adults they were adopted. Each quickly learned that Black Adoption is common, but taboo to speak about in private or publicly. The voices of Black adoptees – especially those adopted by Black families – are rarely heard.  In 2019, Dr. Sam and Sandria partnered to create Black to the Beginning to disrupt the legacy of secrecy, stigma, shame and silence about Black Adoption. In 2020, they launched the critically-acclaimed The Black Adoption Podcast.  Their work as culture-shifting podcasters makes them sought after speakers, consultants, and most recently contributors to a new anthology, A Year of Black Joy: 52 Black Voices Share Their Life Passions.
