As Johnson Meszaros explains, lead poisoning means your stripped of your mental abilities to better deal with an already racist world....

I also wrote about the way that lack of clean water disproportionately affects migrant pregnant women in Texas:http://www.teenvogue.com/story/how-water-affects-people-attempting-to-cross-the-mexico-us-border …

@COHIntl compared crossing the border to Hunger Games: “You’re going to die or almost die trying to get here.” Heartbreaking.pic.twitter.com/0pHL5R1XHQ

I spoke with
@coyahope and Corrine Sanchez about Standing Rock and Los Alamos National Laboratory: sacrifice zones. Guess who's sacrificed? -
You know how I write a lot about tribal sovereignty? It means nothing if native peoples can't practice sovereignty over their own bodies.

I'm honored that I was asked to write three stories linking water, reproductive justice, and environmental racism for Teen Vogue.
