2024 Texas Black Womxn Reproductive Justice Summit

In this session, we seek to refine and sharpen our work through a dialogue between BREHA Collective members, TAC Researchers, and summit attendees. The presentation will map the different needs of Black women living in the United States and the Caribbean (Jamaica and Haiti) around reproductive justice and HIV/AIDS. We will also explore the power of storytelling as a tool of knowledge production, wellness and healing for Black womxn. Our goal is to provide the audience with meaningful information on how to engage Black womxn’s reproductive justice and provide attendees with resources that support Black womxn’s mental healthcare and well-being. From the streets, to the universities, to our diasporic movements and beyond, we posit that these tools offer expansive ways of organizing, connecting, and cultivating practices that trust Black women by centering their knowledge, lives, and leadership as we foster collective resistance and practice self and community care.
