Dr. Samantha Coleman began her career working in behavioral health, psychiatric hospitals, crisis programs, and private practices, empathetically engaging with people and their stories. As a late-discovery adoptee, little did she know that her own story was far from what she had been conditioned to believe. In her own path to healing, she co-founded Black to the Beginning, in 2019 with one of her best friends of 15+ years, Sandria Washington. Black to the Beginning has one goal - to amplify the voices of Black adoptees and to empower the Black family to embrace truth and transparency for generational well-being.
