Grieving as a young Black woman | S3 EP 9
Angharad (21) was 14 and Zunera (18) was 17 when they both suddenly became bereaved of their dads through heart attacks. Now in early adulthood, Angharad is training to be a Primary School Teacher while Zunera is studying Medicine at Cambridge. In this episode, they explore their different grief journeys but also find plenty of common ground. The conversation covers ways to deal with the aftershock, milestones at school and university, and how grief inspired their career paths.
