    Welcome to another episode of Grieving in Color. This week, we have the privilege of diving deep into the unique grief experiences of Black women in higher education with this week’s guest, Dr. Sakeena Everett.

    An assistant professor and grief researcher, Dr. Everett shared her personal grief journey and how it inspired her to create the intersectional grief literacies framework. This innovative tool is specifically tailored to help Black women in academia navigate their grief journey in a supportive and empowering way.

  • Spirituality and Grief
    Jul 16 2024
    We're going to dive into a topic that I have been wanting to talk about for some time; the intersection of spirituality and grief. Drawing from my personal journey as a Christian navigating the loss of my mother, we’ll delve into the initial shock of her stage four cancer diagnosis (while I was pregnant with my second child), to the eventual loss and grieving process that followed.

    Through poignant reflections and intimate anecdotes, I offer insights into the ways in which faith can serve as a source of comfort and strength during times of immense grief. Whether you are navigating your own journey of loss or seeking to better understand the role of spirituality in the grieving process, I hope this episode will provide you with solace, encouragement, and a renewed sense of hope.

Fluent in her native language Igbo, she is now learning Spanish, as well as working on perfecting her guitar and piano lessons. She is a physician associate who resides in Hanover, Maryland.

Grieving doesn't operate on a set timeline, and the prospect of resuming work responsibilities can be intimidating. I'll be sharing personal reflections and suggesting strategies to help you navigate this tough journey, underscoring the importance of communication, support systems, and self-care in the workplace.

    Reintegrating into work after a loss is a deeply personal journey that requires patience, self-awareness, and support.
