Autonomy is My Joy
Autonomy is My Joy centers the voices of Black mamas and advocates for birth and womb justice.
The Cultural Engagement Lab advocates for the passage of critical Maternal Health legislation in alignment with our sister organization, The Center for Cultural Power’s, Gender Justice and Health Equity Program, and collaboration with MomsRising, We Testify, The Ariah Foundation, and Inspire Justice Productions. Autonomy is My Joy centers the voices of Black mamas and advocates for birth and womb justice. We are invested in using storytelling to support bodily autonomy while also calling on the federal government and local officials to pass the Momnibus Act.
We know we can reshape the culture around reproductive health with advocacy, education, and inspiration! Artists, Culture Bearers, and doulas are re-shaping how birthing people experience pregnancy, post-pregnancy, and abortion while reclaiming the narrative around what it means to have a womb in this country.
Through art and culture, the Cultural Engagement Lab enhances the advocacy of BIPOC communities, advocating for the rights of all birthing people and empowering them to make solid decisions for their bodies and their families.
