Series 2: Mind, Body, Soul -- Caring for the Soul with Shagara, The Melanin Widow

This episode is a part of a series that centers around the mind, body, and soul. In this episode, we focus on the matters of the soul, as we hear the deeply personal and emotional journey of Shagara Bradshaw, host of The Melanin Widow, a woman who is learning to bravely and courageously "just keep swimming" for herself and her family after the loss of her husband in 2017.

Guest Bio:

Mother. Friend. Sister. Educator. WIDOW. Life took a sudden turn for Shagara Bradshaw when she heard the words, “I’m sorry but your husband has passed.” After dealing with the pain of losing her husband, Shagara decided to turn her sadness into hope and her pain into purpose. The Melanin Widow podcast was created as an outlet for women and men of color to help deal with coping the loss of a spouse. By creating the podcast it has helped her voice her emotions and journal her pain as oftentimes our loss is neglected. No more should we have to be a part of the stigma to suffer in silence.
