October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month.  Pregnancy loss and infant loss are difficult experiences. This week the Brown Skin Mom Podcast returns with Erica McAfee of Sisters in Loss.

Pregnancy loss is something that is often glossed over or avoided in the black community.  Black mothers are losing their children and suffering in silence when we don’t have to.  That brings me to this week’s podcast guest, Erica McAfee of Sisters in Loss.

I bumped into Erica after checking out another podcaster we both love and I fell in love with her message.  As a mother who has experienced pregnancy loss, it was a breath of fresh air to see a woman who looked like me sharing her story.  Erica helps women find clarity and peace after dealing with the loss of a pregnancy or child.  She encourages women to empower themselves by telling their stories to inspire others.

Erica has her own podcast called Sisters in Loss where weekly moms share their experiences with grief and loss to help uplift each other.  On Sisters in Loss, black women are replacing silence with storytelling.  It is a beautiful, powerful things and I am excited to have her on the Brown Skin Mom Podcast to spread her message.

Erica is a wife, mom to two angels and her rainbow baby, Super Mighty Max.  She also blogs about special needs parenting and lets mothers walking the same path know that they are not alone.

This month, Sisters in Loss is hosting an online Healing and Prayer Summit.  Register today to learn more about essential oils, journaling about your loss, health & wellness, reducing stress, meditating, and power of prayer during our nightly sessions.
