About Sisters in loss
Hey Sis! I’m Erica, the Founder and Head Sister of Sisters in Loss, a Maternal Child Health Education company where Black Women replace Silence with Storytelling around Pregnancy and Infant Loss and Infertility.
Sisters in Loss is dedicated to replacing silence with storytelling around pregnancy and infant loss and infertility of black women. The stigma and shame that comes with sharing loss stories prevent black women from achieving the healing they need to thrive in their new normal. Sisters in Loss holds space to present loss and infertility stories in a resourceful culturally acceptable way to assure black women they are not alone on this journey. Sisters in Loss provides educational and doula services in pregnancy, birth, postpartum, bereavement, and grief support to help women step beyond anxiety and fear and into trust and peace after loss.
Her story...
I started Sisters in Loss when I was searching for a podcast and community of black women with shared experiences around miscarriages and infertility. After experiencing a stillbirth at 39 weeks and miscarriage at 18 weeks, I know the pain and healing that comes with life after loss. Through the powerful stories and testimonies of dynamic, resilient black women, the Sisters in Loss has grown into a Maternal child health education company consisting of a training institute for emerging bereavement doulas, an inspiring online community, magazine, and podcast. I work intensively with black women on their grief and healing journey as a Grief Specialist and Doula by giving them the tools they need to become more resilient, confident, and joyful no matter life’s challenges, circumstances, and hurts.
Join the Sisters in Loss Community, starting with the “My Loss Story” episode to follow my journey to motherhood and meet many other black moms who have experienced loss and infertility.
You are NOT alone on this journey!
