This work can feel BIG. To document our journey (the great & the difficult), our team journals about it. We’ve recently added audio to our journals, including songs that capture a vibe or experience. What songs would be on your playlist? #CultivatingCommunities4Change

Really appreciate @McCauleyHL & her work. I cannot explain the pain & suffering that comes from growing up believing our bodies are not ours & we are simply things for domestic labor, sexual comfort, reproduction. It is so dehumanizing & allows for so much violence against women.
Listen to our most recent @PWASpodcast An interview with @McCauleyHL about reproductive coercion https://t.co/XXc71p1I09

On a flight with 5 y/o this morning, watching the luggage loading from our window. Him: Can the plane hold backpacks down there? Me: Yes. Suitcases? Yes. Seats? I guess so. The plane can hold anything down there. Even hope?
