Episode Synopsis

In this episode X talks with Tida Beattie. Tida Beattie (she/her) MBA, is a peer grief support guide, an end-of-life doula, an immigrant advocate, and a creatrix of extraordinary spaces. Tida is a co-founder of MESO, alongside Soyeon Davis. MESO provides culturally attuned support to immigrants, their caregivers, and their grievers addressing care, loss, and grief.Tida is the daughter of Thai immigrants, born, raised, and 100% made in America. As a result of Tida’s experiences with sandwich generation caregiving, the complex deaths of her parents in 2019, and the lack of bereavement support through a cultural lens, Tida comprehended too late what she and her family settled for. Tida co-founded MESO as a result of her inability to find culturally attuned resources for herself and her family in their most vulnerable times. She strives to resource immigrants and their next generations so they can have education, information, increased capacity, self-advocacy and personalized support where culture and representation matter. Connect with Tida and MESOWebsite: www.mesocommunity.comIG: @mesocommunityLinkedIn: @tidabeattieResources Tida sharedWork by Victoria Chang Work by Nayyirah WaheedDeath over Dim Sum and Beacon Light Doulas by Elizabeth WongRemembrance and grief work by Roshni KavatePause by Alica ForneretHello, I'm Grieving by Dr. Julie ShawMystic Daddē, Vinh Paul HaThe Dinner Party by Sundari Malcolm  and Lennon FlowersGoing with Grace by Alua ArthurA Sacred Passing by Lashanna WilliamsGrief Gallery by Charlene Lamb
