Summary

This week we’re sharing a powerful new podcast from Lemonada Media and Campaign Zero: Still My Baby. This powerful, intimate limited series that tells the untold story of one of the most pivotal moments in modern American history - the murder of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.

This isn’t your typical courtroom drama or news recap. This is a mother’s story. It’s a raw, deeply intimate portrait of Mike’s family told by those closest to him. The series traces the years before August 9th, 2014– before everything changed. Still My Baby follows the family’s journey through grief and healing in the aftermath of tragedy, and how they rebuild themselves to where they are today.

We’re going to play you a clip from the first episode. After you listen, search for Still My Baby wherever you get your podcasts or head to https://lemonada.lnk.to/StillMyBabyfd
