Episode 228 - Beneath The Skin with Jazz Legend Nnenna Freelon
This week on the Tuesday People podcast, host Mitch Albom welcomes GRAMMY ® -nominated jazz vocalist Nnenna Freelon for a deeply moving conversation about grief, loss, and healing. Nnenna shares the inspiration behind her latest album, Beneath the Skin —a profound exploration of love, family, self-reflection, and resilience in the wake of losing her husband, celebrated architect Phil Freelon, to ALS. Together, Mitch and Nnenna discuss the transformative work she’s doing through her podcast, Great Grief , and her forthcoming book, "Beneath The Skin of Sorrow: Improvisations on Loss," (Duke University Press / Fall 2025), both of which delve into the complexities of grief and how creativity can serve as a path to healing. Tune in for a soulful and honest dialogue about navigating loss and finding beauty beneath the surface. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
