Episode Synopsis

Ep. 5 On September 11, 2001, 12-year-old Miles Travis Boyd’s world was shattered when terrorists attacked the World Trade Center—where his mother worked. In Part 1 of this conversation, Miles recounts the harrowing days and weeks he spent with his aunt and uncle, waiting and hoping for his mother’s return. His story pauses at a haunting moment: the phone call from a hospital saying they had found a woman with his mother’s name.

This gripping first half lays the foundation for how grief would later call him into a life of faith, resilience, and leadership at the Sharon Baptist Church in the South Bronx, New York.
