Emma Akpan is an ordained itinerant deacon in the African Methodist Episcopal Church and a 2010 graduate of Duke Divinity School. Currently, she is one of the Policy Council members for NC Women United, a coalition working to make sure women's voices are heard in the North Carolina General Assembly. When not advocating for reproductive justice, Emma loves running and joining book clubs. She doesn't think time should be wasted eating bad food or spending a sunny day inside.
