Speaking & Participation
I speak about reproductive justice from direct experience across advocacy, peer support, and storytelling. My work includes over 280 hours of involvement in organizing, direct support, and narrative-based programs.
What I can speak on
- Abortion experiences outside of “acceptable” or crisis-driven narratives
- What people actually need when they reach out to abortion support lines
- The gap between policy, access, and lived experience
- Emotional realities of abortion that are often overlooked or simplified
- Storytelling as a tool in reproductive justice movements
- Supporting people through pregnancy decisions without agenda or judgment
