1 in 6 people suffer from infertility, yet fertility is still the "F word" that no one wants to talk about. In this deeply personal and powerful TEDx talk, nationally recognized fertility attorney Rijon Charne opens up about her experience with cancer at 26, which led her to advocate for insurance reform to require insurance companies to cover fertility preservation for cancer patients.Through her journey, Rijon shines a light on the costly, outdated insurance policies that hinder people from preserving their fertility, especially in the wake of a cancer diagnosis. She challenges society to rethink fertility preservation, reproductive health, and why advocating for fertility rights is essential to making fertility a right, not a privilege.Rijon's work has played a pivotal role in the passage of Texas House Bill 1649, mandating insurance companies to cover fertility preservation for cancer patients. She continues to fight for reproductive rights and believes in bridging the gap between law, healthcare, and ensuring that fertility is accessible to all.Website: www.sunrayfertility.com Company Name: Sunray Fertility Law Area of Expertise: Reproductive Law and Women's Health Attorney LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rijoncharne/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sunrayfertilitylaw/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1CGsPKezR6/?mibextid=wwXIfr #TEDx #TEDxSpeaker #TEDxSanDiego #fertilitylaw #reproductiverights #fertilityattorney #familybuilding #fertilityadvocate #healthcareaccess #fertilityrights #femtech #womenshealth #infertilityawareness Rijon Charne is a nationally recognized fertility attorney, reproductive rights advocate, CEO and founder of Sunray Fertility Law, one of the fastest-growing law firms dedicated to reproductive law, women’s health, and FemtTech.
