From my living room window...foggy out this morning

My life is blessed...I cannot deny that

Throughout it all...given the good and the bad...losses and the gains

I'd live this exact same life all over again

I dont know if I'm more excited about feeling more and more like myself again or feeling like I'm ready to jump back into death care and start serving the community again.

Having a baby after 40 is rough but I did it, I've healed, and I'm relearning myself as a retired military mom of two who has a deep affinity for death work.

Why isn't this everywhere!!!!!

More than 45 children have gone missing in the Cleveland-Akron area this month alone, and in August, there were more than 35 missing minors, according to the Ohio Attorney General’s missing childre…

Because everyone who I thought was supposed to protect me did not.

My persons(clients) do not just get me but they get me along with everything that my Ancestors blessed me with to help them on their journey.

No one gets the exact same things but instead what my spirit has lead me to create. Whether it's supporting a family after a loss, planning ahead, or supporting through dying process; I allow spirit to lead me. Sometimes I need to buy a specific item and sometimes I need to make it...but I do my best to listen.

This is why I feel you cannot approach death work from a capitalistic standpoint. You'll miss the best parts🙏🏾💞

Thank you

Wooooo weekend so many projects going on this month...so many great partnerships being formed...and I'm excited about them all!!!

The death and grief space for PGM/BIPOC workers is rife with barriers. From non-visibility to social media shushing us on the algorithm. 
 
Being in a body of culture as a death grief (or loss) worker presents a different lived experience not only in the work but how we move daily out in the world. 
 
If you are navigating this, we as in and I, want to offer a peer supportive environment for us to get real with each other. 
 
This is a monthly community support circle for death workers who are PGM/BIPOC (including mixed folks.) We meet the third Thursday of every month via Zoom.
 
Follow the link in my bio and go to the events and workshop page to register for the first one on January 20th, 2022. That’s a Thursday night at 7-9 pm ET. 
 
The circle is free for death workers. If you are not a death worker OR a person of privilege, you can support this circle (and soon to be added community) by donating a ticket at the Eventbrite link. Monies will go towards hosting service, educational materials, and our time to be able to continuously show up and hold space.
