Building Grief and Deathcare Support for Communities of Color with PAUSE
WEBINAR GUEST:
Alica Forneret | Founder & Executive Director of PAUSE
MODERATORS:
Erika Lim | INELDA Educator
Launched in the summer of 2020, in response to the murder of George Floyd by founder Alica Forneret, PAUSE’s mission is to create spaces that produce safe, culturally-specific, and expert-informed grief and end of life resources serving Communities of Color. Started as a resource newsletter, PAUSE has grown into a versatile organization, offering a blend of digital and in-person support to individuals, corporations, and deathcare professionals.
Join Alica and INELDA educator, Erika Lim (a PAUSE Startlight resident) in a powerful conversation about the roots of the organization, the necessity for grief resources for Communities of Color, and how PAUSE is strengthening networks of grief-informed professionals—from doulas and social workers to HR leaders—to rebuild systems of care that center dignity, belonging, and mutual aid.
From the development of community-based programs to end-of-life ecosystem mapping, discover the profound impact PAUSE is having in the LA-area and throughout the nation.
