Throughout the pandemic and the escalating assaults on women’s bodily autonomy and transgender life & healthcare, Black women in the South have continued to lead society forward not only in resistance but also with a vision of a transformative just society. Tamika will discuss the ways the historic roots of our current landscape connect the intersections of reproductive justice, abolition, disability justice and healing justice in a powerful motion toward our collective political liberation!
