Grieving as a young Black woman | S3 EP 9
Kim (22) was bereaved of her mum to cancer just before she started university, and grief TikToker Ashley (27) joins the podcast to talk about her dad’s traumatic death during her early twenties. In this episode, they explore their different grief journeys but also find plenty of common ground. The conversation covers grieving within Black communities, funeral customs and traditions from Ghana and the Caribbean, and the pressure to be a “strong Black woman”.
