Built from Grief. Rooted in Healing. Created for You.
Canvas of Connection was born out of a season of deep loss.
After losing several loved ones within months of each other including three grandmothers and facing the silent grief of unexpected friendship breakups, I found myself in a space no one prepares you for. It wasn’t just sadness. It was a profound disconnection from who I was, who I had lost, and what I was supposed to do next. I searched for something, anything that could help me make sense of the emotions I didn’t know how to name. What I found was journaling.
Page by page, I gave my pain a voice. I wrote through tears, through numbness, through questions with no answers. And slowly, something shifted. I wasn’t just grieving. I was healing. I was remembering. I was reconnecting with myself.
That experience became the heartbeat of Canvas of Connection, a sacred space where grief is not fixed, but felt; where healing is not rushed, but honored.

Founder's Bio
Keita Washington - Founder of Canvas Connection
After experiencing a series of personal losses, including the passing of multiple family members and the painful unraveling of meaningful friendships, I found myself searching for a space to process grief that felt honest, safe, and supportive. I didn’t find that space, so I created it.
With a background in Human Resources and Compensation Strategy, I’ve spent years helping others feel seen and valued in their careers. But it was my personal healing journey that revealed the deepest truth: we all need a place to land when life falls apart — a place where our emotions are honored and our stories are held with care.
Canvas of Connection was born out of that need — a space for guided reflection, healing through journaling, and building community around life’s hardest moments. My goal is to empower others to explore their grief, rediscover their voice, and begin again with courage.
This isn’t just a business. It’s my calling. And it’s my honor to walk alongside you, one page at a time.
You are not alone. Your story matters. And your healing starts
