Channeling the badass women that helped make me who I am allows for me to grieve in surprising ways.
It started on a whim. I came home one night from a friend’s son’s bar mitzvah and decided to imitate my deceased grandmother on a new TikTok account. I did a classic riff on my beloved grandmother — one where she is frantically rushing to the synagogue in her home town of Knoxville, Tennessee, to pick up kosher meat that was shipped from Chicago.

Norri Leder (aka @suthernbubbie on TikTok) is doing some really meaningful and fun content on TikTok.
Norri Leder started making short videos on TikTok as a grieving outlet after losing her mother and father within a two year period. In these videos Norri "channels"/impersonates her mother and grandmother. In some cases, her mother and grandmother (formerly members of Brith Shalom) are back in life, commenting on current happenings and trends. In other cases, Norri brings out classic memories of her mother and grandmother. After watching the videos, viewers feel they really know these special people from Norri's life, and enjoy a lot of good laughs in the process.
