PHG REWIND: My Conversation With Len and Jay Bias's Mother
In this week's episode of The Professional Homegirl Podcast, Eboné had the privilege of speaking with Len and Jay Bias's mother, who courageously shared her thoughts on the critical need for drug prevention, reflecting on her own upbringing, and recounting the profound impact of losing both of her sons. Len Bias, widely anticipated as a rising star after being drafted as the second overall pick for the Boston Celtics in 1986, tragically passed away just two days following a cocaine overdose. It has been over three decades since his untimely death, yet his legacy continues to resonate deeply in the sports world and beyond. Almost four years later, Jay Bias, Len's younger brother, lost his life during a confrontation at a jewelry store in the mall in 1990. His death further compounded the family's grief and left a lasting impact on those who admired him and his brother. Their deaths served as stark reminders of the dangers of drug abuse and violence, sparking crucial conversations and initiatives aimed at prevention and support for affected families.
