Reproductive Justice: Real Talk & Real Truths - 10/17/2022

Janette Robinson-Flint- As a founding member of Black Women for Wellness, Janette holds the Executive Director position. My work in the health field began as an advocate during my pregnancy, seeking a holistic practitioner to work with my concept of a gentle birth. Today, I am part of the Reproductive Justice Coalition of Los Angeles, California Coalition for Reproductive Freedom, and National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda. Over the course of the years, my journey has included The Birthing Project USA/Los Angeles, Great Beginnings for Black Babies, National Health Foundation, March of Dimes, California Primary Care Association, Inglewood Healthy Mothers & Babies, South Los Angeles Health Project and Women Infant & Children (South Los Angeles advisory board) Programs. An alumnus of the University of Southern California, I am currently seeking a doctorate in community organizational development. Magic through radio is yet another love, having produced day-long specials celebrating the lives of African American leaders, weekly programs highlighting women’ voices with Talking Book, African World News, Family Tree, Some of Us Are Brave and Liberated Sisters radio programs. Great food, a good story (either book or movie), spoken word, live music, salsa dancing, and a scenic walk make my day in Los Angeles. A victory that encourages health for women and girls grounds me through the challenges, traffic, and the struggle for freedom.
