What is the Labora Collective?
The Labora Collective is a medical publishing and community platform focused on reproductive health, justice, and survival. We combine clinical education, investigative reporting, systems analysis, and community engagement to help people understand — and navigate — the realities shaping women's health today.
Is the Labora Collective a medical practice?
No. The Labora Collective provides education, analysis, and tools for understanding and navigating healthcare — but we are not a medical practice and do not provide individual medical advice. Always consult your healthcare provider for personal medical decisions.
What do I get with a paid membership?
Full access to all three journals, complete Packs & Playbooks, member-only tools (checklists, scripts, decision trees), priority Q&A with Dr. Connor, and community features. See our What Members Get page for the complete list.
What are Packs and Playbooks?
Playbooks are sequenced action pathways for specific clinical situations. Packs are bundles of related playbooks organized around a health domain. They're designed for use, not just reading.
Can I contribute or write for the Labora Collective?
Yes. We welcome submissions from people with lived experience, professional expertise, and a commitment to clarity, rigor, and care. See our Write for Us page for guidelines.
How do I cancel my membership?
You can cancel at any time through your account settings. Annual savings of approximately 17% are available on all paid tiers.
Who is behind Labora Collective?
The Labora Collective is founded by Dr. Yamicia Connor, a physician and founder of Diosa Ara, a women's health company dedicated to improving obstetrical and gynecological outcomes for Black women and other women of color.
