Go listen or watch as Thea Monyeé and Crystal Tennille Irby of the always supadope Dem Black Mamas Podcast call in their grieftending skills with me cheering them on.
The video I shared with you is a clip from a short message for my make-it-happen family that’s now moving from Patreon to My Grounds Space. Join me there too!
Where to listen, watch, and everything else ever about the Grief Episode (Ep 62) :)
What Crystal said about this episode…
What if I told you to offer grief a seat at the table? What if I told you grief has no other duties except to be with you? It has nowhere to be and is not bound by time. Grief is patient. Grief is relentless, and as Akilah S. Richards ( @radicalselfie ), our guest for this episode and a DBM fave, says, “Grief is not something to be fixed but something for you to learn to be more skilled at processing.”
Akilah is a mother, partner, liberationist and author of Raising Free People: Unschooling as Liberation and Healing.
She is now diving deep into grief work and yaaaallll this work is made for times such as this! The best way to describe this episode especially in the midst of world events is TENDER and that word is critical for us right now because a lot of us are so tender right now and the world is in a tender place.
In this episode we talk:
✨Grief, language and the body
✨Grief and generational shifts
✨Grief and creative projects
✨And of course grief, Black women and the political landscape
