This week, Auntie Oprah (as Jay calls her) lent us an episode from
Trials to Triumphs, a podcast on the Oprah Winfrey Network. Hosted by Ashley Blaine Featherson-Jenkins,
Trials to Triumphs discusses the personal and professional struggles of innovators–just like
The Limits. On today's episode, Ashley speaks with actress and singer Amber P. Riley. Amber is best known for her role as Mercedes on the hit comedy-drama series
Glee. She also starred in the West End debut of
Dreamgirls and won season 17 of

Glee family, and how she managed the loss of beloved costars.Follow Jay on
