Debi works with the bereaved (or the deceased before they transition) to put together person-centred funeral ceremonies and memorials to give fitting and inclusive farewells. She uses her working knowledge of culture, tradition, religion and spirituality and her experiential knowledge of African-Caribbean funeral practices to work through complex sets of emotions in a meaningful way to devise ceremonies across a wide range of beliefs and backgrounds.
In addition, she offers a virtual space to facilitate Loss Cafes for the Black African diaspora to discuss racial and culturally sensitive topics related to death, dying, bereavement and grieving. Debi also has a background in education, training & development, not-for-profit management and project management.
