Panelists

Moji Alawode-El

Moji Alawode-El

For the past 6 years, Moji has used her team building expertise to help organize and grow Abortion Access Front’s fight against the patriarchy and abortion extremism. She is currently boot-on-the-ground at AAF; speaking at rallies, podcast hosting, counter-protesting, volunteering at clinics and out on the road with the team raising hell. Moji loves yoga, reading sci-fi by femme people & people of color, roller skates and talking really loudly about her own abortion and reproductive rights in public spaces. Moji is a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College and is currently having too much fun raising an adorable-assed feminist in Harlem. Moji’s on the ground experience working closely with clinics, and her wealth of knowledge on legislative trends brings to the Feminist Buzzkills Live podcast the much needed perspective of just how relentless these legislative attacks are and how they emotionally and practically affect clinics and their ability to provide care.
