We flashback to the final story in a 7-part series in support of reproductive rights.&nbsp;The stories in the series were told live on stage in front of 400 people at Temple Beth Am in Miami, Florida on September 5th 2024.Today’s story is by <a href="https://nikwalk.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nicole Walker</a> whose story tells us everything we need to know about why she writes and why she wrote this story. When she wrote about her abortion at 11 in the New York Times, all the shame she carried for more than forty years melted away. This is why we write.&nbsp;&nbsp;Nicole Walker is an English professor at Northern Arizona University and the author of 8 books.
