Taking Back Space: Capping The Cross Bronx Expressway

Nilka Martell is a community organizer and an environmental activist in the Bronx. She founded an organization called #Loving The Bronx, which is leading efforts to advocate for capping an exposed portion of the Cross Bronx Expressway, in her neighborhood, in Parkchester.    Nilka tells us the story of how she went from being a concerned neighbor to leading environmental justice work throughout our borough over the past decade. Through an unrelenting, yet optimistic approach, Nilka fiercely advocates for environmental justice, to rectify Robert Moses's infamous construction of the Cross Bronx Expressway.  Other voices are joining the call and helping to build the case for why it is time to reimagine the Cross Bronx Expressway. Dr. Peter Muennig, a physician and public health researcher at The Columbia Mailman School of Public Health, published an article in 2018 in The American Journal Of Public Health that argued that capping the Cross Bronx Expressway will save money and lives. Justin Sanchez, Director of External Affairs at the Bronx Borough President's Office, is working to elevate proposals to cap the highway in local and municipal politics. Tune in to hear from Nilka, Dr. Muennig & Justin.  This episode was produced by Emily Nadal, a journalist for The Mott Haven Herald & Hunts Point Express, and Alexander Levine, a third year medical student at The Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

Beyond the System: A Conversation with Carmen Mojica, Bronx-based Midwife & Reproductive Justice Advocate

In today’s episode, we interview Carmen Mojica, a midwife and reproductive justice activist in the Bronx. We hear from Carmen about her work in the community supporting families through COVID-19, along with the many ways in which she advocates for Black, Latinx, and other POC individuals who are pregnant or giving birth. We discuss the role of community, policy, and solutions that exist outside of the medical system in supporting birthing people in the borough, along with the barriers to enacting meaningful policy change. Finally, Carmen sheds light on how colonization, slavery and capitalism are inextricably linked to maternal health, and offers wisdom on healing from intergenerational trauma. Carmen is a cofounder of Bronx Rebirth and Progress, a collective of birth workers and mothers seeking to build alternate solutions outside of the system that protect and honor birthing people in the Bronx. She is also a speaker, facilitator, writer, and faculty member at the Midwives College of Utah. This episode is hosted by Ashley Castillo & Olivia Howell, both first year medical students at The Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
