Yebba had a huge year in 2016. The singer and songwriter's career
was taking off. But 2016 was also the year that something awful
happened: Yebba's mother died by suicide. And that changed
everything in her life. In this encore chat from 2021, former host
Sam Sanders and Yebba discuss the emotional toll it took to make
her recent album Dawn, growing up in the church, and shedding old
beliefs while making room for new ones.
