A replay and an invitation (grief tings)

We gathered. We reflected. We held space.

This video is the recorded portion of our first What I Let Die reflection circle. We focused on Episode 1, where I challenge the narrow, oversimplified myths many of us inherited about grief. Together, we talked about what grief actually is, how it shows up beyond death, and what we’re unlearning in real time.

After this part, I turned off the recording so we could move into a private grief circle—a quiet, potent space that left us all feeling witnessed and steadied.

I’ll be holding another one soon for Episode 7, which explores the grief of friendship endings. If you’d like to join the next circle, comment here or message me and I'll add your name to the invitation and email you the Zoom link to join us.

Plenty love,

Akilah
