Episode 12: Black Women's Sexual and Reproductive Health feat. Rianna

Hello again, this month I had the pleasure of being joined by the wonderful Rianna: host of ReeSpeaks, founder of Shine ALOUD UK, and fellow PhD. We talk about her research exploring how Black Caribbean women in the UK experience sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care. You're in for a really good episode! Enjoy, xx Julia
