In this episode of Dimensions of Diversity, host Lloyd Freeman welcomes Jummy Kirby, Founder of Relinquish & Transcend Counseling + Consulting, to discuss the emotional and mental health needs that currently exist surrounding pregnancy loss, particularly for Black women.
Jummy shares with Lloyd her personal journey with miscarriage and an ectopic pregnancy, which inspired her to create a therapeutic space for historically excluded communities. Their conversation covered the importance of using specific language such as “grief”, “trauma”, and “loss” to validate experiences, the different ways partners grieve, and the societal silence that often surrounds miscarriage.
