About This Death Café
This virtual Death Café is hosted with heart and intention by Avery Bright of Bright Young Life Management, a full spectrum doula, death worker, and womanist advocate centering care for Black, POC, LGBTQIA2S+ and other marginalized communities. These gatherings are a sacred space to talk openly about death, dying, grief, and legacy—without agenda, judgment, or expectation. Through storytelling, shared wisdom, and gentle conversation, we foster collective healing and deeper connection.
Our Death Cafés are held on Zoom every 1st Sunday of the month at 2:00 PM PST. Come as you are—tea, coffee, snacks, and your full self are warmly welcomed.
This offering is rooted in community care and decolonized death practices, with the intention of reclaiming our right to talk about death in meaningful, grounded, and inclusive ways. We aim to honor ancestral wisdom, hold space for our grief, and uplift life’s impermanence as a catalyst for deeper presence and purpose.
These events are made possible with the support of Bright Young Life Management and the ongoing encouragement of our community.
These events will take place on Monthly on Zoom every 1st Sunday at 1 pm PST/ 10 am EST for 1 hour.

About Avery Bright (she/her/they)
Avery Bright (she/her) is a full spectrum doula, death justice advocate, and the visionary behind Bright Young Life Management. Rooted in womanist values, ancestral reverence, and community care, Avery supports individuals and families through life’s most sacred thresholds—from birth to death and the many rites of passage in between.
Her work centers Black and Indigenous people, people of color, LGBTQIA2S+ folks, and others whose lives are too often excluded from conversations around care, grief, and legacy. As a mother of four, a seasoned caregiver, and a death doula shaped by both lived experience and spiritual practice, Avery creates intentional spaces where grief is honored, stories are shared, and death is held with dignity and compassion.
Avery lives and works in Inglewood, California, on the traditional and unceded lands of the Tongva (Gabrielino), Kizh, and Chumash peoples—Indigenous communities who have stewarded these lands since time immemorial. She honors their enduring presence, resistance, and cultural legacy, and uplifts the memory of those whose land, lives, and freedoms were taken through colonization.
Her monthly Death Cafè gatherings—currently held virtually—offer a gentle and grounding space to talk about death, dying, and what it means to truly live. Each gathering invites us to decolonize our relationship with mortality and return to communal rituals of remembrance, healing, and connection.
Together, we sip tea, speak truth, and hold space for the sacred cycle of life and death—centering the voices, needs, and traditions of the most marginalized.
I acknowledge that I live and work on the traditional and unceded territory of the Tongva (Gabrielino), Kizh, and Chumash peoples in what is now known as Inglewood, California. I offer deep gratitude to the original stewards of this land—past, present, and emerging—who have resisted displacement and cared for this land through generations of violence and colonization.
As a doula, death worker, and community caretaker, I honor the Indigenous knowledge, traditions, and ceremonies that continue to shape how we care for each other in life and in death. May this work reflect a commitment to reparative action, remembrance, and relationship with the land and its people.
