Teen Vogue was so welcoming to teen We Testify storytellers as they broke new ground. It’s disgusting to see how Condé Nast is destroying some of the best journalism. Young people deserve news and info that educates and uplifts them. Thank you Teen Vogue writers for the way you changed the world.

I am proud to have led We Testify and to have worked with the storytellers and staff through this historic decade that has touched so many hearts. So it is with a full heart that I say goodbye as I move on to my next chapter.

Today is my 20th Abortionaversary and each year I take a day for myself, often in nature, and reflect on what that decision meant for my life and the path I’ve taken. This year, I decided to share what I’ve learned.

Senator Cornyn was also on my flight so instead I chose to tell him he was a traitor to this nation and that he’s killing people. He was rescued by that random white dude and they bonded over how crazy I was for exercising my right to free speech. I saw him step & board over disabled people. Trash.

Love okra? It’s an abortifacient! We documented several methods used by enslaved Black people as a way to claim their bodily autonomy and liberation. 💫

When I went to a Palenque in Colombia, I learned about the herbs Black medicinas have used for centuries, and still use, to provide abortions. Herbs have been documented as part of use all over South America and the Caribbean. 🌱

Abortion liberation has always been part of Black history. Black people have always used herbs to care for their health and manage their fertility. As we wrote LIBERATING ABORTION, we learned about abortion methods throughout history. Here are a few. 🌼

Everyone loves someone who had an abortion.

Save this info for you or someone you love. 🫶🏽

Know the side effects, when to seek medical attention if you have one of the very rare complications, and when to talk to the cops (NEVER!)

Everything you need to know about self-managed abortion is here: wetestify.org/self-managed...

The most critical part is simple: don’t talk to cops, you don’t need to tell medical providers what you took, just tell them you’re having a miscarriage. Also, don’t fucking snitch.

I recorded this episode of NATAL with the incomparable @coribush.bsky.social just days after the election. The feelings were raw and the message was clearer than ever: liberation demands dismantling the anti-Blackness this nation is built upon.
