Black women have always said we need full access to ALL healthcare, including reproductive care. Last week, I had a conversation with @forbes about how candidates can earn our votes. Our bodily autonomy is at stake. Watch the interview: youtube.com/watch?v=2upwmI…

Our healthcare and public health systems will get worse under a Trump presidency. Period. I spoke with The ReidOut about how a second Trump term could kill millions (more) Americans. msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/wh…

#ReproJustice is an election issue. When our lives are on the line, we’re going to do everything we can to fight back. I spoke with Bianca Flowers of Reuters about why we need candidates and policies that put us first. reuters.com/world/us/advoc…

When we talk about #ReproductiveJustice, maternal health are is just the beginning. I got real with CNN’s Victor Blackwell CNN about why our responses to rising Black maternal mortality rates aren’t enough.

Ten states considered constitutional amendments on abortion rights in 2024. Last week, seven states voted to guarantee Rights. Voters nationwide proved they want access to reproductive rights, health and justice. npr.org/2024/11/06/g-s…

AI can help decrease maternal mortality. But we need to train it properly first. Thank you National Black Caucus of State Legislators for hearing my thoughts on the importance of training AI based on medical history. If AI is going to help us, it needs to be tailored to each person; not to racial stereotypes.
