Toni Bond Leonard is an african american woman who is working for reproducive "justice" for black women and other women. She is very involved in Black Women for Reproductive Justice which to me resembles a more efficient planned parenthood or other clinic of that type. The difference in her work is that she is working on giving knowledge to women, and using that as the greatest resource. She is someone who is very important and productive in the the programs she is involved in. -Mallory Nelson
