Dear Anita
Throughout this podcast, we’ve told Anita’s story through the words of her family and friends. Now it’s Anita’s turn. Through a journal she left behind, we explore the last months of Anita’s life, narrated by her granddaughter and namesake, Anita Brown.
Healing
After decades of searching, Anita’s son Antonio has just learned the very gruesome details about how his mother was murdered. As he grapples with what he’s learned, he and Tonya ask, what’s next? In this episode of She Has A Name, the two take you inside their intimate therapeutic session with Dr. Robin L. Smith, co-author of The Invisible Ache: Black Men Identifying Their Pain and Reclaiming Their Power. They delve into the illusion of closure and how to move forward.
Theories
Who killed Anita? Did her involvement in the drug game somehow lead to her murder? A serial killer? Or maybe the man her family says used and abused her was somehow involved?
In this episode of She Has A Name, we delve into four theories, parsing out the details from the original fire report and crime scene documents, witness accounts, the family’s knowledge, and interviews with the lead detective.
