Black Women For Wellness 27th Annual Reproductive Justice Conference

This year's conference, Harm to Healing: Dismantling Barriers to Reproductive Health for Black Women and Girls, seeks to confront the continuum of reproductive harm endured by Black women and girls. It is both a remembrance and a call to action acknowledging that Black women's bodies have historically been used for extraction, experimentation, and control. From forced reproduction of our ancestors to the surgical experiments of J. Marion Sims and the non-consensual use of Henrietta Lacks' cells, harm continues today in maternal disparities, dismissal of Black women's pain, and systemic barriers to reproductive autonomy. At this year's conference, we will hold space for truth-telling and collective healing. Together, we will dismantle systems that exploit our bodies and reclaim time for joy and healing.
