Kelli and Kendra continue their conversation on Black women's reproductive health. This week they are joined by Regina Townsend, founder of The Broken Brown Egg. This organization exists to empower, inform, and advocate for those questioning or experiencing the impact of infertility, with an emphasis on the Black experience of it. Regina shares her fertility journey, how she started the Broken Brown Egg, how she's feeling today, given our current political climate, and how our ancestral cultural genius inspires her work. You'll also hear Regina describe her 'mental health kit,' and we invite you to share in the group chat on social media what you have in yours! Kendra offers a new takeaway question for us, which honors ourselves and our bodies.
P.S. Make sure you listen to the FULL episode because Regina blesses us with a recap of her book, Make IF Make Sense: Putting Words to the Feels of Infertility, and how you can join her community of women navigating their fertility journeys together.
Content warning: if you want to protect your peace and are sensitive to discussions about reproductive health issues and/or medical maltreatment and poor bedside manner, please take good care of yourself as you listen to this episode, and feel free to use the resources shared below
