Description
Amber Thurman, Candi Miller, Porsha Ngumezi, Josseli Barnica, and Neveah Crain highlight the tragic outcomes of restrictive abortion bans post-Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Their stories underscore the need to shift away from viewing medical institutions as the only sources of reproductive care. The Afiya Center’s Livable Black Futures Collective advocates for community-based knowledge through a Reproductive Justice storytelling framework. By emphasizing the injustices faced by Black women and birthing people, these narratives aim to reclaim bodily autonomy, dismantle stigma, and foster resilience, ultimately serving as a powerful catalyst for collective healing and activism against systemic oppression.
