Meet Regene Polk Ross, the Bay Area healthcare events leader grieving the loss of her son
I’m a Leo, middle sister, lover of Prince, Earth Wind & Fire, and foreign movies. Born in Detroit, raised in Houston, visiting the Bay Area for the last 27 years. I’ve worked in health care communications, events, and marketing for 20+ years.
I’m in the midst of
Grieving. I lost my son in 2023 to sudden cardiac arrest and my mother to Alzheimer’s in 2021. I want to normalize grieving and how employers respond to grieving employees. Hence, I am redefining my purpose and passions.
The best thing about my current age
Redefining my own standard of beauty.
The best thing I’ve done for myself in midlife
A trip to Bali and seeking what I need to live healthier and more radiantly (excited that Joanna Strober is also a MidstHer, I used her Midi app).
My Grown-Ass Lady heroes
Diana Ross, Viola Davis, Maria Shriver, and my grandmother, Josephine Polk
What’s next
I’m curating a wellness brand to normalize how women take great care of themselves and conquer burnout via excursions, retreats, and products.
