Here We Grow

For the first time at the Richmond Reproductive Freedom Project, we have a growing team of amazing staff!

This year, RRFP is on-boarding three staff to sustain our work. We'd like to welcome Safiya and Ayé as two crucial members of RRFP's team -- and we are hiring for a third position.

Safiya | Caller Support Coordinator | Pronouns: she/they

Safiya is a Black, americanized, Caribbean Goddess, just tryna thrive in the diaspora, tryna decolonize. She is an artist, an activist, an aunt, a zine-author, a lactation counselor, a parent educator, nanny, an aspiring children’s book author and illustrator, and a single, childless homemaker. She is an full-spectrum doula who centers abortion, loss, and postpartum support, and most importantly, Racial Justice in her work. A sort of orphan herself, she considers herself a crucial part of the village(s) it takes to create families, raise families, and keep our communities autonomously thriving. She spends much of her time dreaming up ways an oppressive, individualistic, capitalist society can be nurturing for children and non-traditional family structures. Richmond Reproductive Freedom Project has been her organizing home since 2010 and has been Caller Support Coordinator for over a year.

Ayé | Community & Volunteer Engagement Accomplice | Pronouns: they/she

Ayé (pronounced "Eye-yay") is a maker, shaker, parent, partner, birth and abortion doula, lactation counselor, and community organizer. As a poor, black, and queer woman, they were radicalized by Loretta Ross at Decolonize Birth conference in 2017 with the charge to build our own systems and networks outside of the ones built to harm and oppress us. A true Sagittarius sun, they are steadily expanding getting free as fuck: shaking ass, making medicine, growing food, preserving food, and fiber arts. While also a Capricorn moon prepping and survival planning for a homestead. And always always keeping the work community focused, values driven, radically honest, free, and full of pleasure.
