Jakeya Johnson Secures Future Reproductive Care Access

(BOWIE, Md.) – Jakeya Johnson, a native of Birmingham, Alabama, graduates from Bowie State with a master’s degree in public administration this week and is already on a fast track establishing herself as change agent, social justice advocate and someone who is making a difference in the world. 

Johnson was given an assignment in one of her graduate courses that required developing a policy solution for a public problem. Since she is a major proponent of reproductive rights and freedom, that issue became the topic of her research project and much more. Increasing reproductive health care services on Bowie State’s campus became her number one goal so she sought guidance from Maryland State Senator Ariana Kelly.
