My guest this week is Paulina Isabel Almarosa. And this is part two of my conversation with her. Check out part one where Paulina shared her experience of growing up undocumented.
I want to put a trigger warning right here as we do talk about grief but I also want to invite you to open your mind and take a listen. And the reason is that we all have losses in our lives, and this year, we all lost something. And the thing with grief is that avoiding it doesn’t help, like any emotion it will demand a space.

Paulina is a “grief keeper.” She is a social worker who focuses on healing the Latinx community.
