S.3 E.2 // Vote for Black Girls: Black Joy is Reproductive Justice an oral history with Daniela Brissett by Hazel Ekeke

Black youth are often  adultified, criminalized, and sexualized in American society. In this episode, we’ll explore what it means for Black girls to have a future---as allowing children to be themselves and thrive is reproductive justice. 

This episode was hosted, recorded, and produced by Hazel Ekeke as part of Reckoning and Repair Season 3, "Black reproduction & justice in Philly," a set of immersive oral histories and multimedia figurations that engage with reproductive justice in Philly,  drawing from the "Reproduction, Justice, and Care: Listening in Philly" course co-taught by Dr. Alissa Jordan and Dr. Daniela Brissett at the University of Pennsylvania.

Reckoning and Repair is part multimedia counter-archive, part laboratory, for telling stories and listening to stories in cities. Each season traces stories of resistance to (and repair from) the enduring and specific legacies of exclusion/withholding/erasure that haunt our cities. Through immersive oral histories and collaborative storytelling, student scholars, activists, and creatives illuminate the slow, difficult, yet vital work of accountability and healing in haunted worlds. The project is directed by Dr. Alissa Jordan at the Center for Experimental Ethnography at the University of Pennyslvania. ​
