My #bestfriend of over 25 years - Laura Kay Collins - is having surgery today. She means the entire world to me so please keep her lifted in prayer and send healing energy for a surgery. It’s been one hell of an #October but more on that later… #breastcancerawareness (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVLSKNeLdFe/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’m definitely a #ReproJawn 💯 and even more so during national #ReproductiveJustice Week of Action! Today we are focused on #votingrights in the states. Register for the panel at 1P ET featuring my ace @carm_pgh and register for all events at @newvoicesrj.org/RJWOA2021. — Posted @withregram • @newvoicesrj What is a #ReproJawn? A #ReproJawn is someone who loves #Philly and knows why Reproductive Justice is important to their community! It's the magic of Black women, femmes, girls and gender-expansive folx for them! They want to end white supremacy and patriarchy regardless of their own gender identity. A #ReproJawn is fighting for the health and well-being for themselves, family, friends and those first and most impacted by Reproductive Justice issues. Whether, it's Black maternal health, abortion access or environmental justice, a #ReproJawn is being the change they want to see in the world. A #ReproJawn prioritizes their own rest and mental health as a radicalized reclaimation of their time, labor, and #Blackjoy. Are you a #ReproJawn? Let us know in the comments what issues you want to learn more about during #ReproductiveJustive Week of Action!
