Tonya Mosely and Antonio Wiley open up about their experience with trauma, grief, joy, and mending family ties as they unravel their shared family history in She Has A Name.

For 33 years, the story of Anita Wiley's disappearance was unresolved. Now, Antonio Wiley, and Anita's sister, Tonya Mosley, have a produced a podcast about Anita's story called She Has a Name. The series chronicles the realties of the drug epidemic in Detroit in the 1980s, Wiley's and Mosely's experiences with trauma and grief, and the reconstruction of family bonds.

We revisit Stateside's conversation with Mosely and Wiley on today's podcast. Find the original episode below:
