Episode 20: FIGHTING FOR ACCESS TO A HORMONAL REVOLUTION ...

What this episode covers

⚡️In this weeks episode @ajrhq was delighted to talk with legendary Latinx activist & OG punk dreamboat Alice Bag !! We got into her bananas amazing 50 year musical career, her anger about being wrongly ripped off HRT post hysterectomy🤬, how punk powered self advocacy hacks can lead to hormonal revolution, how women of color can activate community to challenge medical rac🖕sm, how smashing systemic disempowerment with informed decision-making is tied to bodily autonomy, how the thinking has evolved about starting HRT in older age and how turning the “whisper network” into a raging punk rock scream might just save us ALL! Alice is a fabulous gem of a human - it was so generous of her to share her hormonal (and punk!) journey with us.
