Episode 228 - Beneath The Skin with Jazz Legend Nnenna Freelon


Listen Later

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.
