Oriaku Njoku

Oriaku Njoku, co-founder and executive director of Access Reproductive Care – Southeast, works at the intersection of abortion access and reproductive justice. Working as a health worker in abortion clinics in Atlanta, she believed that we could do more to advocate for folks in communities directly impacted by reproductive oppression in more meaningful ways. Currently, she supports Southerners in navigating pathways to accessing safe, affordable, and compassionate abortion care through funding, practical support, and advocacy. Oriaku is also on the board of the National Network of Abortion Funds and the ReproAction advisory board. She truly believes that we can and will create a cultural shift around how we talk about abortion in the South and invites you to join her in making reproductive justice a reality. Oriaku finds solace at home with cupcakes, Woodford Reserve (as every Kentuckian should), and her dog Marley. Connect with her @oreawku on twitter—all views her own.
