Meet the speaker
Amiyah King (she/her)
Death Doula, Doctoral Researcher & Policy Advisor
Amiyah is a death doula, INELDA and GWG alum, doctoral researcher and policy advisor for the City of New Orleans. Her work bridges death care, criminal justice and community restoration. With over a decade of experience supporting system impacted youth and families affected by violence, her work centers grief as an informant of public policy. Amiyah's research focuses on crime victim reparations, funeral cost burden and how state level funding can support grief-informed policies that interrupt cycles of violence and trauma in Black communities. She also works closely with hospices to reduce barriers for doulas in clinical spaces, while advocating for more culturally responsive end of life care.
No prior experience is required—just curiosity, care, and reverence for the living world that supports us through life’s final transition.
We hope to meet you there!
