AMBER J. PHILLIPS

Amber J. Phillips is a storyteller, creative director, and reproductive justice activist whose work imagines a world where Black womanhood is an abundant overwhelming experience of safety, pleasure, and joy. To create stories that spark radical visions of liberation in the now, Amber’s work draws on her life as a Black, fat, queer, femme, auntie from the Midwest.

As Amber Abundance, she writes and performs stories that act as a mirror reflecting herself and all Black women as human beings. As the High Priestess of Black Joy, she co-created and co-host The Black Joy Mixtape podcast. The Black Joy Mixtape is a show that uses comedy and grit to breakdown the trending stories in news, politics, and pop culture through a Black feminist lens.
