Connect with Gaby Georges:
=================
At the age of 20, Gaby faced the unimaginable when her mother, Samira, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and passed away just four months later at 58. Grief left Gaby feeling lost and isolated for years, but through writing, she eventually found solace in sharing her poetry and songs publicly. This inspired her to create community events centered around open conversations on grief and loss. With a Master's thesis on the impact of poetry, community, and performance on grief, Gaby also studied Narrative Therapy and became a trained Grief Movement Guide. She has since supported thousands through creative workshops, events, and a mobile app, promoting creativity as a powerful tool for healing and transforming grief.
