With over two decades of experience in the nonprofit sector, I am Sadija A. Smiley, a dedicated advocate, nonprofit founder, and grief specialist. My journey began with the founding of Stillborn And Infant Loss Support (SAILS) in 2017, inspired by the loss of my daughter, Ivyanna Salene. Holding a Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice and a Master's of Business Administration, I blend my academic background with practical expertise to drive impactful change. Through SAILS, based in Maryland, I offer crucial community, education, mentorship, and support groups to those affected by stillbirth and pregnancy loss, emphasizing mental health and well-being. My mission is to challenge the narrative of lifelong grief burdens, fostering environments of dignity, compassion, and hope. As an Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist, speaker, and author, I leverage my personal journey, education, and professional insights to inspire healing and transformation.
