The RJ Storytelling Project is a campaign created to break the silence on reproductive justice. Navigating the reproductive landscape has been challenging, and with the end of Roe v. Wade, historical disparities have only worsened, especially amongst marginalized communities.

Centered around a documentary ‘Our Stories. Our Choices’, our goal is to illuminate the diverse stories within Virginia and address the true complexities of reproductive health journeys. address the true reproductive health narratives in the Commonwealth.

The RJ Storytelling Project, led by Birth in Color and in partnership with the ACLU of Virginia, aims to diversify the conversation around reproductive health.
