Listen "Georgia Allen: Grief is not something you experience just once"
Episode Synopsis
Georgia Allen, Executive Director of The Road Home and Co-Founder of the Soaring Independent Cooperative, says that grief comes in many forms and that non-traditional forms of grief include loss of dreams, safety, autonomy and identity. In this episode of Black Oxygen, Georgia talks about the grief experienced as a result of economic instability, how the pandemic has amplified economic instability in Dane County, and her personal stories of facing benefit cliffs and the grief she experienced after the death of her baby daughter. Near the end of the conversation she shares with us that “grief can be a place of learning” and urges us to “not let grief consume you.” #BlackOxygenPodcast #BlackInWisconsin #BlackGrieving #BlackSorrow #BlackJoy #BlackGrief #CollectiveGrief #DopeBlackPodcasts #BlackPodcasts #BlackMentalHealth #BlackTherapy #GriefAwareness #GriefAndLoss #HoldingSpace #BlackMothers #BlackDaughters #BlackInMadison #TheRoadHome #BenefitCliffs #EconomicInstability #SoaringIndependent Links and Resources: The Road Home - https://trhome.org Soaring Independent - https://www.soaringindependent.com After falling off the ‘benefits cliff,’ this mom decided to build a child-care safety net - https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2021/04/05/child-care-coop-network-low-income/
