195: Whose Vagina Is This...The Supreme Court’s Apparently

Black Girls Texting

This week, Chelsea shares she found a therapist, Sade is leaning in to her self-care, and Glynn is exploring a new app to embrace her frisky side.We also discuss our thoughts on the potential overturn of Roe and what that means for us.

For the group chat we were blessed to be joined by Dr. Sara Flowers who became vice president of education at PPFA in 2018. An advocate for evidence-informed practice and emotional intelligence in sex education, Sara’s research focuses on fidelity and adaptation of sex education curricula, dismantling sexual and reproductive health disparities, serving youth of color, and strengthening abortion access.

The Planned Parenthood team was so kind to share a plethora of resources with us, see below for more information on how you can support and feel supported!

On May 14, we will have a National Day of Action for supporters to show up across the country alongside a broad group of coalition partners with a clear call: Bans Off Our Bodies. Visit BansOff.org or BastaDeControlarnos.org for more info and to mobilize.

TONE Volume One:

• TONE is a series of self-care playlists made by Planned Parenthood in collaboration with Refinery29 Unbothered.
• With young people of color always being on the frontlines of change and pushing for a more equitable and inclusive society, we know this can impact their wellbeing and the wellbeing of their communities. Planned Parenthood created TONE because we know that self care is health care.
• Made by and for Black and Latinx audiences, TONE is a collection of affirmations, meditations, and words of self-care wisdom featuring the voices of Black and Latinx wellness leaders — including folks like Sasheer Zamata, Blair Imani, Isis King, and Brittany and Germani from Black Girl Bravado.
• TONE Volume One is available on Apple podcasts and Google podcasts.
