Angela Tucker, a transracial adoptee, is a filmmaker and author challenging the dominant adoption paradigms by centering adoptee voices in the mainstream. Angela is a Black woman adopted from foster care to a white family. Her story has been chronicled in ‘Closure', a documentary about the search for her biological parents, as well as in her book ‘You Should Be Grateful' which was released in 2023. She's also the founder of The Adopted Life, a consulting company where she offers workshops and mentorship, with a mission to help center adoptee stories and bring clarity and truth narratives about race, class, and identity. She has advised the writers of Broadway's ‘Jagged Little Pill' as well as NBC's ‘This Is Us'. If you enjoy this episode, be sure to check out her podcast, ‘The Adoptee Next Door.'
