À propos de Vernacular Pathways: Tales of Loss, Grief, and Transitions
A space to honor the raw, the unpolished, and the unshakable. Through honest conversations, we explore life, death, grief, trauma, and the transitions that shape us. Vernacular is the essence of what remains when everything else is stripped away. It’s what colonization could not touch, could not erase, and could not influence. It’s the stories told in kitchens, the songs hummed while hand washing clothes, the tales passed down in whispers, dreams and rituals.
