Moya Bailey is a second year Fellow in Women's Studies at Emory University. Her research is focused on health care disparities in marginalized groups. She received her undergraduate degree from Spelman College where she majored in Women's Studies with a concentration in Health. While at Spelman she was a resident assistant and was active in many campus organizations including AUC Peace, Sisterfire, Afrekete, and served as President of the Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance (FMLA). Her organizational and planning activities with the FMLA and the SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Rights Conference led her to a life of activism centered on health issues and social constructs affecting women of color. Bailey also serves on the national board of the Davis- Putter Scholarship Fund, which provides scholarships for activist students. Her dream is to open a free clinic for women that provides a holistic approach to health and social services.

Brandy Simula received her B.S. in History and her B.A. in Women's
Studies, Sociology, and French from Appalachian State University. She
is interested in the intersections of feminist and queer theory around
sexual agency, identities, and practices.

Her research draws on feminist and queer theory to examine how
individuals construct, understand, and perform their sexual identities.
Her dissertation project explores how self-identified heterosexual
feminists active in the BDSM community negotiate their political
beliefs and personal practices through the process of identity
construction.
