In this powerful episode of Outspoken with Regina, host Dr. Regina Davis Moss is joined by Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley and public health commentator Elizabeth Booker Houston to explore how policy decisions—from Medicaid cuts to maternal health legislation—impact the daily lives and futures of Black women, families, and communities.
Together, they break down the urgent need for Reproductive Justice frameworks in policymaking, the role of lived experience in shaping legislation, and why our personal stories must remain at the center of every political conversation.
If you’ve ever wondered how power, policy, and personal truth intersect—this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for.
🎧 Tune in. Speak out. Because policy is personal, and we all need to be Outspoken.
