OnGrief

When death visited and revisited me, making itself my unwanted business, it revealed a need many do not recognize until bereavement-related grief arrives. Since the age of 11, I have carried grief that I now know is cumulative. Realizing both the gaps in understanding of this kind of grief and the need for grievers to be supported in ways that suit them, I set out to explore some of the answers.

Letters to Mom Collection

On the twenty-fifth anniversary of my mother's passing, I curated the Dear Me: Letters to Mom, a collection honoring mothers who are no longer physically here, from and for those without their mothers on Mother's Day. The featured writers, from Colombia, India, South Africa, and the United States, share their individual pain. Yet collectively, all their narratives are tied together by stubborn growth, grace, and gratitude.

Granules of Grief Podcast

Following the loss of my grandmother and last guardian in 2019—a rupture that felt, then, beyond comprehension—I launched Granules of Grief with Refiloe. Now archived, this limited-series podcast created space for others navigating loss to sit with their experiences of bereavement-related grief, and for listeners to find resonance in open, raw, and at times humorous conversations with people from different parts of the world.
