Carla Fernandez | Renegade Grief
CreativeMornings & L'Alliance New York present Carla Fernandez!
For too long, grief has been pushed to the edges of culture. But in 2025, being in right relationship to your grief is no longer a soft mental health clich; it's a radical act & a critical life skill. In her talk, Carla Fernandez builds on learnings in her debut book Renegade Grief & over a decade as cofounder of nationwide peer support organization The Dinner Party. Offering pathways through peer support, creative care practices & allyship, Carla's talk will help you rewire personal & collective patterns around grief. The result? A more connected, resilient & inspired life, even if it requires us to get a little renegade.
