A.J. Haynes is a Black Filipina queer femme performance artist, singer/songwriter, abortion access advocate, and reproductive justice leader. Haynes is led by spirit with a keen eye on the cosmos, centering her intersectional experience to shape not only the sound and ethos of her band Seratones, but the potential for liberation within her community. In the premiere of How Art is Born Season 2, A.J. sits down with host R. Alan Brooks to discuss how she got her start as a singer, a brief history of the reproductive justice movement in America, creating deeper engagement with community through art, and more.
