Quotes for articles — Alica Forneret

Submit your availability, quotes, and resources below

I am interested in hearing from BIPOC folks in the grief and mental health spaces who want to weigh in as experts, thought leaders, advocates, activists, speakers, and teachers.

My goals:

To diversify the voices that get airtime and space in the grief and mental health space
To create resources (for my audience and the general public) that highlight BIPOC experiences and voices
To share your work with the orgs and outlets that reach out to me for lists of professionals in these spaces

I know y’all are out there and I want to amplify you! Unfortunately, with my capacity and full-time job, I don’t have time to interview all of you (yet!)

So, I created this form page for you to submit your work, your quotes, your ideas, your advice, and your resources - so that I can compile them and share them with my audience, partners who frequently get in touch with me for quotes and resource lists, and orgs that I work with in the grief and mental health space.

To submit a quote, thought, resource link, etc. - please review the submission types below and send me as much as you’d like! You can send along paragraphs, a few sentences, links to things - whatever feels right.

Being tokenized and stereotyped is irritating AF when you're asked to be included in a panel, podcast, show, or article. What are some things you wish non-BIPOC outlets and interviewers would improve the way they include BIPOC voices and talent? If you could tell someone "Here's 5 things you should think about before you ask to interview me" or "Here's 5 ways you could improve my experience as a BIPOC guest in your space", what would you say?

I often get asked for lists of books, podcasts, movies, etc. that will help people see themselves in someone else's grief or mental health journey. What resources have helped you feel seen and heard? What resources have helped you seek the support you needed after being inspired by the characters, interview subjects, or content?
