In this episode, your Black Elder Millennial Monique gives commentary concerning the proposed legislation, to ban abortion at ANY stage in the state of Ohio. The proposed legislation would deputize private citizens to enforce the law by offering a $10,000 bounty to anyone who successfully sues someone aiding or abetting a person seeking an abortion.*insert eye roll* source

Monique also shares her story of infertility. In The United States, 1 in 8 couples struggles with infertility. After giving birth to her now, almost five-year-old son, your Black Elder Millennial relentlessly pursued her need to give back to the infertility community. This led her to dive headfirst into podcasting. A platform to share stories. It was important to Monique to be a voice and face for black women and women of color. 

The complexities of infertility leave its victims scarred, literally, and traumatized, which is why Monique created the platform. Monique was inspired to create the show after her path to motherhood was disrupted by female-factor infertility.
