In this hopeful episode of How We Build This, host May Boeve sits down with leader, strategist, and longtime friend Miriam Yeung for a wide-ranging conversation about identity, movement-building, and the fight for reproductive justice. 

Together, they unpack the decades-long erosion of abortion rights, the deep impact of stigma and silence, and why the fall of Roe v. Wade wasn’t a surprise to those on the frontlines. Miriam also discusses the transformational power of facilitation, the importance of local action and personal storytelling, and what intergenerational leadership should look like now.

This episode is a deep dive into the personal and political—tender, strategic, and energizing. Whether you're organizing on the ground or seeking your place in the movement, Miriam offers a vision for how we build a future where all bodies are cared for, and all people are free.
