Pronouns: She/Her

Location: Arizona

I share my story as a form of resistance and because people share back when I share. When I am sharing my story I feel the safest, I feel less fear and I feel the most powerful.

Abortion Advice: Your decision is the right decision. More people than you think will support you. Remember 1/4 people have had abortions and most of us love someone who has made that decision.

How I honor my abortions: I honor my abortions by not shying away from the multiple abortions I have had and by being out loud about abortion. I create learning events to talk about abortion to de-stigmatize our full spectrum

What I wish people knew about abortion: Eggs don't have more rights than I do. My life is most important and I know what's best for me. I have never regretted any of them and most of my family supports me because they love me, not necessarily because they would also choose to end a pregnancy. 

What is your favorite abortion in film? I love the movie Unpregnant.

Women Of Color Speak Out Against The Whitewashing Of Reproductive Justice

Recently, the New York Times published a feature about the racial and generational divide in the reproductive health and justice movements. The article focused on the ways in which Black and Brown women and non-binary people are excluded from prevailing narratives around the fight to protect Roe, while ignoring the very urgent and intersecting issues that affect their lives. I was one of the women interviewed and, after the piece was published, I found that much of the backlash was defensive; many people painted me and the young women of color interviewed as out of touch with the feminist movement, instead of embracing the opportunity in intersectional approached.
