Breeshia Wade has served as a lay ordained Zen Buddhist end-of-life caregiver and birth doula by day, and a writer, sex, and grief coach in the evening. In all aspects of her career, she seeks to uncover the ways that we experience grief–in our relationship with ourselves and others, at the beginning and end of life, in the daily experiences of systemic injustice–and how we can use that grief to inform rather than drive us. She attended Stanford University, where she earned a BA in Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity, with a focus in Creative Writing. Her journey led her to earn an MA from the University of Chicago in Religious Studies and then spend two years at a Buddhist chaplaincy training at Upaya Zen Center. She is the author of Grieving While Black: An Anti-racist Take on Oppression and Sorrow.
You can learn more about her work on her website and find her course on Good Grief: An Indepth Roadmap from Ally to Anti-racist here.
