Book talk | Towards Bodily Autonomy: A Healing Justice Anthology Decolonizing Sex Work and Drug Use

From erotic labor, to the rights of people who use psychoactive substances, to reproductive health, and carcerality - we are living through a political moment when debates about bodily autonomy are at a fever pitch. Towards Bodily Autonomy: A Healing Justice Anthology Decolonizing Sex Work and Drug Use is a bold and timely collection that confronts these charged issues at the intersection of social justice and public health. In the words of BIPOC advocates and service providers, Towards Bodily Autonomy offers promising, healing-centered interventions that represent a critical culture shift. The articles, interviews, worksheets, and poems within are an offering to expand our collective understanding of survival, healing, and embodied freedom. During this event, we discussed discuss the anthology with four co-authors who contributed to the work. Buy your own copy of the book here at www.justiceriv....
