About Bright Young Life :
My name is Avery Bright, I am Black, Queer, Polyamorous,Newborn Care Specialist, a Full Spectrum Doula (in trainibg), Death Doula/Advociate (in training), I am an artist (looking into reconnecting to my gifts), a mother of 4 young adults (mother of twins). I am passionate towards the Black community as well as other communnities that I identify with such as the LGBTQIA2S, and families who's children are terminally ill. I am looking to expand the culture of Death within the communities I serve and belong to.
What brings you to Death Cafe?
I am looking forward to creating this Death Cafe to connect the communities I identify and serve, presenting to them a safer space were we all can be vulnerable with sharing our thoughts around death and dying, in effores to expand the culture of around end-of-life death, and death advocacy. Hoping to make talking about death and dying less taboo.
My hopes are to change the narritavies around death and dying especially within the Black, Polyamourous and LGBTQIA2S communities.
What would you like your legacy to be?
My desired legacy is to create someting that outlives myself. Hopefrul this Death Cafe can do just that.
Thoughts for sharing:
"Dying is traumatising when it is happening in a place and time that will not make room for dying in its way of living. It is not dying that is traumatic, it is dying in a death-phobic culture that is traumatic."
