October is Menopause Awareness Month and we sat down with Omisade Burney-Scott of Black Girls Guide to Surviving Menopause to talk about Black people navigating menopause trusting themselves and having the support they need. What’s something you wish you knew or want to know about menopause?

Monday marked International Safe Abortion Day, but the fight for safe, accessible abortion care continues every day. This year’s theme, Solidarity in Action, reminds us that reproductive justice means building systems of care where everyone has the support to make decisions about their bodies.

HIV stigma doesn’t disappear with pregnancy or parenthood. At #USCHA2026, we spoke with Marnina Miller of Positive Women’s Network-USA about HIV stigma in maternal health and why reproductive justice must include care rooted in dignity and autonomy for people living with HIV.

“Having bodily autonomy as a Black and Brown person, period, is our birthright.” Last month, Yellowhammer Fund joined community educators Zsa Zsa and Bomani for Black August to explore the connections between Black liberation, reproductive justice, and the fight for bodily autonomy.

Matching donations are another way to easily increase your impact: if you work for a corporation, your employer might offer matching donation options, which can literally double or triple your impact!

We got to talk with Yamani Hernandez of Groundswell Fund as we gathered all Groundswell grantees to discuss the possibilities within the fight for bodily autonomy. We also got real on how funders can better show up for the orgs they support and the relationships they can play a part in growing.

Sexual health shouldn’t come with shame. This #WorldSexualHealthDay, we’re talking HIV, STIs and why fighting stigma is reproductive justice. Everyone deserves information, care and the freedom to make decisions about their sexual health without fear, judgment or shame.

Last week we went LIVE for Hot Girl Summer to talk about how pleasure is part of reproductive justice, too. It’s about having the freedom to make decisions about our bodies, prevent harm AND experience joy, intimacy, and connection on our own terms.

Throwing it back to ESSENCE Fest, when we took reproductive health conversations straight to the people. One attendee spoke on how healthcare isn’t just about access to a provider but about being seen and treated as a whole person. What does person-centered healthcare look like to you?
