![]() As the Youth Programs Coordinator at OSBHA, Mykia empowers youth to advocate for equitable access to healthcare for marginalized populations. She is an alumni of The University of Oregon’s Class of 2019, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Ethnic Studies and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. She has since dedicated her life to empowering disenfranchised youth through her work with nonprofits throughout Oregon. She lives her life through a Black feminist lense which motivated her to become a trained birth doula and child birth educator. Her experience with childbirth influenced her dedication to making birth an empowering experience for Black women and femmes. She believes in and continues to be inspired by the following words by Audre Lorde: “...and that visibility which makes us most vulnerable is that which also is the source of our greatest strength.”
