During this space, panelists will explore the intersections of Blackness, queerness, + transness in relationship to birth and reproductive justice movements. In what ways have our communities held the weight of historical, intergenerational, and collective trauma? How might these experiences impact conception, birthing, lactation, postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, and parenting? We will close by calling in the ancestral wisdoms and remedies for liberation that have held us, healed us, and kept us whole.
