424 – Held Here. Seen. Valued. Heard. by Erica M. Freeman

For years, Sisters in Loss has been a sacred space for storytelling, healing, and honoring life after pregnancy and infant loss.

Today, I’m sharing something new.

In this episode, I introduce you to Held Here — my new Substack publication — a space for deeper reflection, cultural commentary, faith, justice, womanhood, and what it means to navigate grief while living in a world that often refuses to see or hold Black women fully.

I’ll share:

• Why I created Held Here

• How it expands (not replaces) Sisters in Loss

• A personal excerpt from my latest Black History Month issue

• How you can subscribe and support this next chapter

If you’ve ever needed a place to process what’s happening in your personal life and in the world around you — this is for you.

Because healing doesn’t only happen in therapy rooms.

It happens in community.

It happens in truth-telling.

It happens when we are held.
