In 2019, Adams was awarded one of six Sony Alpha Female Creator-in-Residence awards. Warren and Ash discuss a range of topics including cancel culture, accountability culture, restorative justice, and how they all relate to the Indigenous worldview, parenting, kindness as an evolutionary trait, and systemic issues that require systemic solutions.
