Episode 120: Black History Month: Black Leaders Who Transformed Reproductive Health

This week, I focus on the intersection of Black history and reproductive justice, highlighting the contributions of Black women and communities in shaping healthcare and reproductive rights. I emphasize the importance of recognizing historical figures and movements that have fought for dignity, access, and joy in reproductive health. The conversation covers various influential figures, including Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler, Fannie Lou Hamer, and organizations like SisterSong, while also providing actionable steps for listeners to support reproductive justice today.
