We can be on a journey together

I lead with straight talk wrapped in love

I'm Janvieve Williams Comrie, a sociologist, political scientist and human rights strategist. I'm also a Certified Professional Coach (PCC), and the founder and current Executive Director of AfroResistance. I've inspired and transformed thousands of people all over the world, including heads of states, through the work that I do.

I lead with radical honesty, fierce tenderness, and unwavering love.

We walk this journey together.

I’m Janvieve Williams Comrie — a grief companion, death doula, writer, and human rights strategist. For over two decades, I have stood at the intersections of personal and collective transformation, walking alongside individuals, communities, and even nations through the hardest thresholds of change.
As the founder of Afroresistance, a globally recognized organization, a Certified Professional Coach (PCC), and a lifelong advocate for Human Rights and dignity, I bring a rare combination of straight talk, deep listening, and radical care.
Whether you are navigating grief, preparing for death, or searching for meaning in life's transitions, I offer a space rooted in courage, compassion, and truth.

Honoring Life, Grieving Together, and Building Liberation for Over 20 Years

I lead with radical honesty, tenderness, and a fierce commitment to the dignity of every life and every loss.

For more than two decades, I have supported families and communities navigating profound transitions — offering end-of-life guidance, creating spaces for collective grieving, and honoring the sacred work of remembering together.
Rooted in the experiences of women of color, Black migrants, and marginalized communities, my work bridges the deeply personal with the boldly political — because grief, love, and liberation are forever intertwined.

As a writer and grief companion, I use storytelling, workshops, and advocacy to help communities move through loss with courage and collective care. My work has been recognized internationally in spaces such as BBC, CNN en Español, Telemundo, Univision, Al Jazeera, YES! Magazine, Colorlines, and more — but the truest recognition comes from the communities that trust me to walk with them through their hardest seasons.

And I know: we are only just beginning.

Your voice belongs here.

Together, we honor our stories, our grief, and our power.

This is a space where your experiences are seen, your grief is honored, and your dreams are heard. Speaking our truths — even the tender, broken, beautiful ones — is part of how we heal and transform, together.

Empowering Communities for 18 Years and Counting

I lead with straight talk wrapped in love, compassion, and sensitivity because I understand the challenges that especially women of color and immigrant people face. That's why I founded AfroResistance 18 years ago—to provide support to Black communities striving for justice. Our work has been recognized internationally for its commitment to human rights and gender equity. And I'm just getting started. I have appeared in numerous online and print publications including BBC, CNN, Telemundo, Univision, Aljazeera, Yes Magazine, Colorlines and others.
