In today's episode, host Jessica Jordan Ping interviews Autumn Breon, a full-time artist based in Los Angeles. The conversation touches on the importance of access to abortion and reproductive health, the barriers faced by marginalized communities, and the power of storytelling and data in creating awareness and change. Autumn discusses how she utilized a negative experience of being told she couldn't pursue a career in STEM to empower herself and seek out supportive communities. She emphasizes the importance of representation and having a tribe of people who see and support your fully realized self. Autumn and Jessica also share their strategies for self-care, including therapy, journaling, and surrounding themselves with people who elevate them. Autumn encourages individuals to name their fears and explore the positive possibilities, reminding them that a 'no' is not a failure.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
