Welcome to PrettiBlacGurl, a heartfelt space founded by a compassionate soul who understands the depth of grief and trauma. Armed with a bachelor's degree in social work and a certificate in grief, trauma, and crisis counseling from the esteemed Northern Caribbean University in Jamaica, our founder embarked on a mission to offer solace and support to those navigating the difficult journey of loss. The inspiration for this endeavor arose from a personal and profound experience—the untimely passing of her mother in 2010 when she was just 16 years old. Driven by the desire to transform pain into purpose, PrettiBlacGurl is committed to providing valuable resources and a compassionate community for those seeking healing and understanding on their grief and trauma journey. You are not alone, and here, we share the strength that comes from turning adversity into an opportunity for growth and resilience.
