About this listen

 Are you in the midst of a grief journey?
Whether you are grieving the loss of a loved one, the loss of opportunities, or in the midst of life’s transitions, your feelings are valid, your loss is significant, and you are not alone.

On the Grieving in Color Podcast, we invite you to experience all of the sides of grief as we delve into real stories of resilience, featuring guests who have found strength in sorrow, love in loss, and walked through the dualities of finding joy in the midst of their pain. I’m your host, Dr. Chinasa Elue, a professor, speaker, and grief coach and I believe each person grieves in their own unique way.

This podcast will explore the many shades of grief, and how we navigate loss while finding courage to celebrate life’s vibrancy. We embrace grief not as a one dimensional experience of sadness that is black and white, but as a spectrum of emotions, a palette of feelings that colors our lives even in the face of loss. Join us, as we break the silence around grief and paint our mourning in more than just black and white, as we give ourselves permission to grieve, in color.Dr. Chinasa Elue Philosophy Self-Help Social Sciences Success

  • Exploring the Grief Experiences of Black Women in Higher Education with Dr Sakeena Everett

    Exploring the Grief Experiences of Black Women in Higher Education with Dr Sakeena Everett
    Jul 23 2024
    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.

    We explored the intricate layers of grief intertwined with race, gender, and the unique pressures of academic life. I hope this provides valuable insights and encouragement for Black women as they navigate these complex challenges.
