ABOUT

More Than a Story.

When Afiya Howell lost her mother, Valrice, in 2020, she was trying to figure out how to live in a world that suddenly felt different. What started as a way to cope — making videos to stop depression — became a movement.

Today, Afiya is a comedian, content creator, workshop facilitator, conference/event host, and worship leader. She uses laughter and real conversation to help others navigate grief, healing, and life after loss.

She is living proof that joy can return.
