This title intrigued me because Dr. Willie Parker seems like an unlikely champion of reproductive justice, yet in many ways, his lived experience is what makes his perspective uniquely insightful – and his words all the more persuasive. What impressed me the most about this audiobook was how succinctly Parker captures distinct and seemingly unrelated experiences and aligns them for meaningful and poignant impact to listeners and readers. As Parker himself says, “The best advocacy is always storytelling: the truth of people’s lives is what moves hearts.”
