Grief

Hiya!

I'm Rashida!

...and I talk about grief...a lot. Like a lot, a lot. As a motherless mom, I work to not only create a space for but to loudly champion moms like me. Moms who are navigating both motherhood and grief journeys.

Grief is not a dirty word and you are not broken for feeling your feels.

I see you, mama!
