SANTA FE AUTHOR WINS COVETED MEDIA AWARD FOR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS BOOK

Dena Moes’ It’s Your Body is a Clear, Judgment-Free Guide to Reproductive Health geared towards Teens and Young Adults. Last week, the American College Of Nurse-Midwives awarded Moes the National Media Award for authorship of this timely book. The award ceremony took place at the Palms Springs Convention Center,  as part of a conference that is the largest annual gathering of midwives anywhere in the world. 

“ In this time of diminishing access to reproductive healthcare and an internet rife with misinformation, my hope is that this accurate and encouraging guide gets into the hands of those that need it the most,” says author Dena Moes, RN, CNM, a registered nurse, midwife, and reproductive health expert with 28 years of experience.

Filled with clear medical explanations, practical advice, and reflection prompts, It’s Your Body (Countryman Press, 2024) empowers young people to make informed decisions about their bodies, birth control, and sexual health. At a time when social media distorts health information and comprehensive sex education is under attack in many states, this book offers a reliable, stigma-free resource that won’t disappear.

Why This Book Matters Now 

• A Life of Dignity and Freedom Starts with Body Autonomy
• Social Media and Search Engines Are Flooded with Disinformation
• Trusted Resources at the CDC and Other Vital Places Are Being Erased
