As they say, some news: I'm now Director of @rePROsFightBack
Creating & hosting rePROs Fight Back has been a dream. I am so excited to see this dream grow into something bigger and better. We are growing @rePROsFightBack into an initiate that will solely focus on SRHRJ.
rePROs Fight Back is GROWING! 🌱 In addition to the podcast, we are expanding to include more education and advocacy on global and domestic SRHRJ via resources and other take action items. We see a future in which everyone freely exercises bodily autonomy- this is the new rePROs.
