Sexual health education is a game changer

Cherisse Scott has been advocating for reproductive justice and sexual health education since 2005.

Cherisse Scott is the CEO and founder of Sister Reach, a nonprofit that works to support the reproductive autonomy of women in their communities. Prior to Sister Reach’s existence, there were no organizations working for reproductive justice in Tennessee. Cherisse founded the organization after her own experience with a crisis pregnancy center posing as an abortion clinic.
