Founder and president of BlackWomensRJ Marcela Howell speaks with JProfessor about reproductive justice and why more of us need to listen to Black women.
Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health,: Yes. Since it came from Mississippi, and you kind of think that, well, all of these anti-abortion laws have been directed at women of color and poor people because white women who can afford it have always had access to abortion. Even the issue around having midwives and doulas was always the same thing. Black women’s bodies have always been under attack.
Those same state legislatures that passed abortion bans are now trying to figure out how to limit travel, how to impose their vision on young people. They’re even trying to access these apps that people use on their phones to track their menstrual cycles and trying to find out exactly what people’s menstrual tracks are. What that says is if you’re trying to travel, and the state government actually knows you’re pregnant, they’re going to try to stop that.
If Black women in their full force come out and vote in elections, conservatives lose; their policies lose. If you want to control Black women, you control their bodies, control their votes, control what they learn in school, control their history.

They offer strategies for both individuals and organizations to do more to increase psychological safety for Black women.
