ABOUT Justen and Brianna
Justen Alexander is the Vice President of the ICAN. During her time as an ICAN leader, her main focus has been advocacy work, including obtaining the VBA2C and Women of Color clarifications from ACOG, as well as attending and speaking at local hospital board meetings, writing letters to physicians and hospitals, publicly speaking out against unethical practices, and working to increase VBAC and Family Centered Cesarean access. She is passionate about communicating with birth professionals and finding ways to work together in order to improve the maternity care system for all birthing people.
Brianna Barker is the Advocacy Director for ICAN. Her important message is to remind cesarean mothers that they are scarred not broken and facilitating a safe place/ support group for mothers to share their personal experiences. She is passionate about supporting mothers and advocating for a system that provides integrated, evidence-based, respectful care options in all settings with particular concern for fully informed consent, and respect for patient’s rights surrounding both cesarean sections and Trial of Labor After Cesarean.
