Infertility, Identity & the Fight for Visibility with The Broken Brown Egg

In this powerful and deeply affirming episode, we’re joined by Regina Townsend, a leading voice in fertility advocacy for Black women and families. She’s also the founder of The Broken Brown Egg, author of Make IF Make Sense, and creator of the ShellShocked support group. 🖤✨

After nearly a decade navigating infertility, Regina and her husband welcomed their son, Judah, through IVF. Her personal journey sparked a movement — one that boldly challenges silence, stigma, and the lack of visible Black stories in fertility spaces. As a librarian and writer, Regina uses storytelling as both resistance and restoration, creating space for honest conversations that many have long felt excluded from.

Listen to hear: 🧡 Regina’s personal infertility journey and what led her to create The Broken Brown Egg 📣 Why representation in fertility spaces truly matters 🧱 The harmful stereotypes Black women still face in reproductive health 📖 What Regina hopes readers gain from her book Make IF Make Sense ✍🏽 How storytelling helps people reclaim power in their fertility journeys 💬 Encouraging words for anyone feeling alone in their struggle ✨ Regina’s vision for the future of fertility advocacy and community growth

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt like they were walking the infertility journey alone—and how, together as a community, we should always support one another.
