The Landscape of Abortion Care w/ Dr. Colleen McNicholas

40m · Go Ask Ali · 27 Oct 07:02

Chief Medical Officer Dr. Colleen McNicholas is instrumental in running two Planned Parenthood facilities - one in a banned abortion state, Missouri, and the other in a protected abortion state, Illinois. She joins Ali to provide the picture of what abortion care has come to after the U.S Supreme Court announced the Dobbs decision in June stating that abortion is no longer a protected constitutional right. They talk about the monumental demand abortion care facilities are seeing as millions of people around the country living in banned states, but needing this important healthcare, are scrambling when time is of the essence. They also talk about how her Illinois team is finding innovative ways to close the distance gap with its new mobile abortion clinic, what the next generation of doctors will be and the proper way to talk about women’s health and reproduction rights: say ABORTION. It is not a dirty word. [*recorded 10/14/22]

The Primal Joys of Nature w/ The Ebony Anglers and Melissa Clark

What is it about the great outdoors? It’s joyful, liberating, powerful, calming and soulful all at once. It’s also healing. Ali finally gets to talk to her obsession, The Ebony Anglers, a powerhouse trailblazing group of Black fisherwomen about their experience with competitive deep sea fishing. Its foundation and summer camps, Black Girls Fish and Black Boys Boat were created to make sure all kids have access to nature’s healing powers. Bonus, the ladies share #BreakingNews with Ali! And then Ali connects with her clamming soul sister New York Times food column writer Melissa Clark about their clamming and foraging addiction. It sounds like hunting and gathering, fishing and foraging, being outside and in nature feeds our primal souls.
