All virtual screenings will be accompanied by an opportunity for reflection and Q&A with playwright and actor Susan Lieu. 

Featured Topics and Special Guests: "Honor Her: Holding Remembrance and Grief with our own Mental Health" with Alica Forneret, Creator of The Mourning Herald and Holly Chan & Elizabeth Wong, Co-creators of Death Over Dim Sum

"I'm Alica Forneret, a consultant, educator, and author dedicated to creating new spaces for people to explore grief and grieving. The bulk of my grief work focuses on how we can support each other through death-related loss and the grief sparked by (and before) end-of-life experiences. I am fiercely committed to making sure that our conversations about grief, death, and dying go beyond hospital rooms and funeral homes, and am excited to contribute to how we handle grief in the workplace, in our personal relationships, and, most importantly, publicly. I currently work with an extensive network of international creatives, foundations, and wellness organizations - all as collaborative partners for print, digital, and experiential grief work."

By day, Holly Chan is a Seattle-based user experience designer for aerospace manufacturing. By night, she weaves storytelling experiences with her Death over Dim Sum co-creator, Elizabeth. Together, they aspire to provide space and facilitate discussions about end of life and death within the online Asian American Pacific Islander community.

Elizabeth Wong has been a registered nurse since 2003 supporting women in childbirth and advocating for family-centered care. Out of her passion for empowering adult children who are confronted with aging parents, like her, she trained to become an elder care and end-of-life doula. She is committed to sharing this role with the Chinese American community through outreach and education. From this endeavor, she and Holly created Death Over Dim Sum. She also volunteers for Hospice by the Bay.
