The overstory is your first book is a NYT bestseller. The understory is your father’s recent death. FLOWERS FOR LINDA audiozine is (finally!) back with author Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah in this heart-opening conversation about the collision of grief and creative success.

When I was asked to present a keynote speech in fall 2021 at the Transformative Language Arts' Power of Words conference, alongside one of my inspirations, the astonishing poet laureate Joy Harjo, I knew I had to muster up the courage to really speak from spirit.

In this first episode, I mine wisdom and gems from a conversation with my larger-than-life 4-octave-range, Grammy-awarded singer, songwriter, humanitarian and best friend Maya Azucena, through the lens of her new music project, I AM ENOUGH. More than an album, I AM ENOUGH is, in Maya's words, "an experience, a movement, and a belief."
