Dr. Jamie speaks on grief, death literacy, womanist theology, and the sacred work of collective healing — for conferences, congregations, universities, and organizations.

Speaking Topics

Grief as Liberation

How grief work rooted in womanist theology becomes an act of resistance and reclamation for Black and marginalized communities.

Death Literacy & the Church

Loss, Change & Reimagination

Navigating the grief embedded in organizational change, institutional transition, and communal disruption — and finding the sacred possibility on the other side.

Leadership Development

Formation for leaders who carry the weight of their communities — integrating grief literacy, emotional intelligence, and liberatory frameworks into the practice of leadership.

The Ratchet Grief Project

The story, the mission, and the movement — culturally grounded grief education for communities that have been left out of mainstream grief spaces.

Womanist Pastoral Theology

An introduction to womanist frameworks for pastoral care — centering Black women's experiences as the starting point for theological reflection.

Accompanying the Bereaved

Practical and theological formation for those called to walk alongside the grieving — in congregations, organizations, and communities.
