Do You Trust Black Womxn or Nah? The uncomfortable truth: systems fail to protect us because they don’t trust us.

It was my pleasure to talk with the Executive Director of The Afiya Center. Their breadth of services goes way beyond basic health care, and they are truly the experts at shining a light on the disparities that exist for Black women in Texas. More from Texas Signal:

Currently The Afiya Center is the only reproductive justice organization in North Texas that is founded by, and primarily serves, Black women. The fact that they “unapologetically serve Black women” is something their Executive Director wears with pride. texassignal.com/the-texas-repr…

Your reminder: ⚠️Reproductive Justice cannot exist without trans justice ⚠️

We’ll continue to fight alongside our trans friends and family members in Texas to help them access the resources and care they need to thrive.
