I am excited about Linda’s course! As a former obituary editor at The Washington Post, I know how important it is for families to tell accurate, well- sourced stories about their loved ones. I’ve seen too many families struggle to answer basic questions about their parents or siblings. Obituaries are more than an obligatory accounting of the sunrise and sunset of one’s life. It is indeed a piece of history, a story well told and a legacy for the next generation.

Afrobituary is the dopest online tool you could ever use! I would recommend it to anyone who was ever in my position. When my mother passed away, I didn’t have a clue about what I was doing. It was a downright scary situation and I did not want to mess up. Linda’s priceless guidance and experience with obituary writing came to my rescue during my desperate time of need. For those who want easy-to-understand instruction in making sure that their own story is told well, Afrobituary is the answer.

“I love the idea of Afrobituary Legacy Writing. My mother had thirteen children. Two of them died before I was born and three passed away before my own children came along. It is best for me to write my own obituary since I know my history better than anyone else, and it will make it easier for them because all of the right information will be available.“

ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Greetings!
My name is Linda Jones, and when I was an award-winning news journalist, I spent my career documenting and reporting history and life events for local and global audiences. Now I have converted my experience into a transformative writing practice.
I am a ‘writing doula’ and I help ease the 'labor ' of the writing process for my clients so they can give birth to powerful stories that will live forever. I also teach how to tap into the therapeutic power of writing and use it as a practice for healing and self care.
I look forward to helping you write your legacy stories so you can make your well-deserved mark in history!
