Understanding Grief with Khadijah Johnson | Detroit Culture Shifters

In this episode of Detroit Culture Shifters, Khadijah Johnson joins the show to discuss the mission behind Black Girls Who’ve Lost, an organization created to support Black women navigating grief, loss, and major life transitions. Khadijah talks about how her own experiences with loss led her to recognize the lack of safe, supportive spaces for Black women to openly process grief. She explains how grief extends beyond death and can include the loss of relationships, opportunities, stability, and identity. Throughout the conversation, she emphasizes the importance of vulnerability, community, and removing the pressure to always appear strong. The discussion also highlights Khadijah’s work with Girls in Sports, where she focuses on creating opportunities, visibility, and support for young girls involved in athletics. She talks about the importance of mentorship, representation, and access, and how early support can shape confidence and long-term outcomes for girls. 00:00 – Intro 02:26 – The origin of Black Girls Who’ve Lost 05:16 – Redefining grief and loss 07:08 – Vulnerability and safe spaces 10:22 – Building community through shared experience 13:45 – Girls in Sports and youth advocacy 17:40 – Year-round service and community care 23:02 – Advice for navigating grief and leadership 31:24 – Why community support can’t be seasonal 33:10 – How to get involved --- 🔗 Connect with 105.1 The Bounce Website: 1051thebounce.com Facebook: 105.1 The Bounce (Detroit) Instagram: @1051thebounce 📧 Want updates, contests, or DJ news?
