Q: Why did you decide to come into this field and how is it connected to grief, loss, and trauma?
Sierra describes a lifelong exposure to caregiving, from her grandmother normalizing death to her own cancer journey, which deepened her understanding of grief and led her to work with elders and end-of-life care.

Q: What does trauma-informed care look like in practice for activists and NGOs in conflict zones?
