Niecy Nash On ‘Stolen By My Mother’ Subject: “This Woman Was In A Lot Of Pain” – Contenders TV
Antonia Blyth Deputy Editor, AwardsLineIn the summer of 1998, a woman named Gloria Williams walked into a Florida hospital posing as a nurse and took away a newborn baby girl, Kamiyah Mobley, the daughter of 16-year-old Shanara Mobley. With no clues, the police were baffled—until 2017, when a tip led them to discover that Williams had renamed the child Alexis and, apparently an otherwise kind and conscientious mother, raised her alongside two other children of her own.It’s a story that beggars belief and one that certainly intrigued When They See Us star Niecy Nash, who won an Emmy for Ava DuVernay’s Central Park Five drama and who plays Gloria in Lifetime’s Stolen By My Mother: The Kamiyah Mobley Story.
