The LOVERS by Shan Episode Featuring Dr. Keeonna Harris, Jason Espinoza and Jeremiah Chin Premieres on October 28
A riveting conversation spanning 30 years of blended family dynamics, love, healing and relationships, both behind bars and beyond.
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Intimacy and relationship educator Shan Boodram welcomes best selling author and advocate Dr. Keeonna Harris, alongside Jason Espinoza and Jeremiah Chin, to LOVERS by Shan for a candid conversation exploring the realities of a blended family shaped by incarceration, motherhood, changing relationships and the ongoing work of healing.
Dr. Keeonna Harris is a multidisciplinary creative, scholar, advocate and reinvention strategist. Jason Espinoza is a journey counselor at the Amity Foundation. Jeremiah Chin is the Lane Powell & D. Wayne Gittinger Endowed Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Washington.
Through Boodram's thoughtful, direct approach, the conversation brings an intimate family story into focus, revealing how three people have navigated years of pressure and trauma while making room for growth, communication and peace.
Dr. Harris, author of Mainline Mama: A Memoir, brings a perspective rooted in lived experience. Her journey reaches beyond incarceration to explore a woman's evolution as a mother, partner, advocate and individual. It is a story about carrying responsibility, reclaiming identity and learning how to move forward without ignoring the past.
"This conversation was about the kind of healing we don't talk about enough, but desperately need: learning to co-parent, navigate family dynamics, and move through life's biggest transitions with love, grace, and respect, even when life looks nothing like you imagined," said Dr. Keeonna Harris. "At its heart, it's about the power of a woman, especially a Black woman, to choose herself, reclaim her voice, and boldly design a life that reflects who she is and who she's becoming."
The dynamic between Harris, Espinoza and Chin offers an honest look at what blended family relationships can become when people commit to emotional maturity and open communication. Shared history creates space for a conversation about how family bonds evolve, how healing changes relationships and what it takes to build peace after years of difficult experiences.
"Keeonna, Jason and Jeremiah provide an up close look at adulting and what healing asks of a family," said Shan Boodram. "Their story allows us to unlock the kind of truth that reveals how love changes, how people grow and how communication can create a path forward through a complicated history."
At the heart of the episode is the human experience behind the circumstances: a mother's determination, the emotional impact of incarceration and the choices surrounding new love as they redefine their relationships. Boodram guides a conversation that invites audiences to consider what it means to acknowledge pain, practice accountability and create healthier connections.
Dr. Harris's perspective expands the discussions around women's empowerment, mental health, prison reform, motherhood, faith, restoration and community advocacy. Her story underscores the importance of support for families whose lives are affected by incarceration, while recognizing their capacity for joy, connection and transformation.
