Meet  Amina

Amina B. Callands, MBA, CFSP known as The Death Care Jawn is a licensed funeral director and embalmer based in Pennsylvania who is dedicated to transforming the way communities talk about death, grief, and legacy.

She brings a powerful and culturally grounded voice to conversations about mortality awareness and the role of funeral service in society.

Her professional background spans business administration, education, healthcare, community engagement, and mortuary science, allowing her to approach death education from a multidisciplinary perspective.

Amina founded Own Your Mortality 2019, a community-centered platform dedicated to death literacy, grief education, and cultural reframing. Own Your Mortality is a community of support  created to normalize, educate, and shift the taboo around death, dying, and the journey of generational wealth and grief. 

Owning your mortality is important because it allows you to appreciate the present moment, live with greater intentionality, and prioritize what truly matters in life by acknowledging the fact that life is finite, encouraging you to make the most of your time on Earth and avoid putting off important experiences or relationships. It allows you to LIVE your best LIFE  and DIE your best DEATH!
