Moji Alawode-El
One of Moji Alawode-El’s treasured childhood memories is being told derisively that she was a female chauvinist by a boy in elementary school. While she now understands that that is not a thing, it sparked true anarchist joy at the time. To simplify things she now declares she’s an intersectional feminist and leaves it to the ignorant to sort it out for themselves. Prior to joining AAF Moji worked in fashion advertising for several years, steering packaging and advertising campaigns for beauty brands you know and love. In that role she managed international teams, collaborated with talented designers and often saw her work in print and on shelves. But while fashion remained a passion, Moji made the decision to bring her collaborative and creative vision to a place where she could make change, so in 2015, she joined Abortion Access Front. For the past 6 years, Moji has used her team building expertise to help organize and grow AAF’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 FBK Live 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. Her social media handle is @mojilocks everywhere.
