Talking reproductive heslth, reproductive justice and bodily autonomy today with the California Black Women's Health Project.
I never dreamed this would be my lane. But I know this is exactly where I'm supposed to be.
Took home first and third place honors at the Southern California Journalism Awards last night for my piece, "Reclaiming Catherine...and all Black wombs, because they matter."
I dedicate this win to my Grandmama Catherine and to Adriana Smith. They deserved better.
