FM Sept 24: ‘Black Wings’ / Health in Her HUE / ‘The Janes’

THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen  : FIRST … Cherise Charleswell speaks to Ashlee Wisdom, Founder of Health in Her HUE (Heard and Understood) Experiences, and Nasira Spells, Director of Social Media & Engagement, about their digital platform. Health in Her Hue connects Black women to health care providers, services, and resources that allow them to learn more about health issues that disproportionately affect them.

THEN … Alicia Vogl Saenz talks to artist, author & activist Sehba Sarwar about her novel Black Wings
and about how her work moves between Pakistan, the US and spaces in between, collapsing borders while tackling women’s issues, displacement, and migration.

AND  … Opponents have been chipping away at availability and access to legal abortion in the US. And – during his election campaign – Trump even promised to overturn it. In this powerful documentary segment, Charlotte Landes of Making Contact looks back at the early ’70s when a radical collective in Chicago – nicknamed ‘The Janes’ – took abortions into their own hands. We’ll hear their voices from the Stanford Storytelling Project.

All this on KPFK on Tuesday at 2.
THIS is What Feminism Can Sound Like.

This week’s program was produced by Lynn Harris Ballen
