Content warning: historical examples of racism

Dr. Jen is switching things up in today’s informative and enlightening episode; instead of answering a question or two, she’s delving into the behind-the-scenes of her recent visit to DC for the State of the Union, during which she had the chance to speak to some incredible people about the importance of reproductive health and justice. But, what exactly is reproductive justice, and why is it something you should care about? Dr. Jen is answering these questions and more!  


 What's going down:    

  • Why reproductive health should matter to all, not just those of us with uteruses 
  • How reproductive justice is defined by two incredible women: Congresswoman Nikema Williams and her guest, Monica Simpson, the Executive Director of SisterSong 
  • How racism, classism, and various issues affect reproductive health and justice 
  • What intersectionality means and why it matters 
  • Henrietta Lacks: who she is and why you should know her name and legacy 
  • The Mississippi Appendectomy: what happened and why we should learn more 
  • Why all of the above matters more than ever in a post-Roe world 

  • Thank you for continuing the conversation and calling into the Viva la Vulva Voicemail at (503) 893-2016! Please be sure to rate, follow, review, and remember that nothing is considered TMI around here.
