Emma Akpan
ABOUT EMMA
I'm an independent journalist specializing in arts, culture and religion. I previously spent more than a decade in advocacy, with an emphasis on how race and religion impact reproductive justice and health.
I am looking for personal stories about people affected by abortion laws across the country, artists working at the intersections of reproductive health, justice, and people affected by the criminal justice system. If you have a story, please reach out to me through my contact form.
