A Taxi, a Scrunchie, and the Question That Changes Everything
Ever dodge death over a red scrunchie? Picture racing through Trinidad, Cuba, narrowly missing a taxi while carrying a hair accessory you promised to return to a stranger named Yesenia. As the vehicle whizzes past, your mind floods with absurd worries-dying abroad, family shame, and yes, whether you're wearing acceptable underwear. This isn't the plot of a quirky indie film. It's the moment that transformed Alua Arthur's life and led her to become one of America's most sought-after death doulas. At the bus station afterward, still shaken, Arthur meets Jessica-a German traveler with a red quill pen tattoo who helps delay the bus. As they journey together, Jessica casually reveals she has terminal uterine cancer and is seeing the world before she dies. Unlike Jessica's friends and family who tiptoe around mortality, Arthur leans in with genuine curiosity. The question she asks becomes a turning point: "When you look at yourself on your deathbed, who do you see?" This simple inquiry unlocks something profound in both women. Jessica realizes she wants to write a book about her travels. Arthur, at thirty-four, contemplates her own mortality for the first time-truly contemplates it-and envisions the person she wants to become before her final breath. Years later, she understands that without this "coincidental" encounter, she might be dead-not physically, but spiritually crushed under the weight of living someone else's life.
