Om avsnittet
TW: This episode contains discussion around themes of infant & pregnancy loss/ stillbirth and grief.
Welcome back Bookends! Today we have a powerful & important minisode for you, we were joined by American poet, artist and filmmaker Tiannah Malika (also known as Spike Tee) to chat about her debut collection 'Gray Skies Turned To Sonshine', a book of art and poetry exploring her experiences of stillbirth and grief.
Aswell as listening to some extracts of Tiannah's work we chat about why these topics are still taboo, the importance of community in grief, creating art for change and the experience of turning her pain into her beautiful poetry. We absolutely loved chatting with Tiannah and we hope you enjoy sharing in her wonderful energy as much as we did.
