Fhrynée Lambert

Fhrynée Lambert (She/Her) is a Haitian-American scholar, educator, and advocate whose work explores the intersections of Black feminism, reproductive justice, education equity, and community-based storytelling. A dedicated Black feminist scholar, her research centers the lived experiences of Black girls, women, and birthing people in the United States and the greater Caribbean, with a particular focus on how race, gender, and class shape access to education, reproductive health, and systems of care.

Lambert’s current work investigates Black reproductive decision-making and (M)othering practices, especially the ways women and birthing people create and sustain systems of care within unstable or unsupportive social, political, and institutional contexts. Grounded in her Haitian-American identity and a commitment to community-engaged scholarship, she draws on oral histories, participatory methods, and Black feminist thought to illuminate practices of resistance, survival, and joy.

She holds dual Bachelor of Arts degrees in Africana Studies and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from Smith College, along with a Certificate in Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice.

With a background in community organizing, educational practice, and interdisciplinary research, Lambert brings a relational and justice-oriented lens to both her scholarship and pedagogy. Her work is animated by a deep belief in radical access—to knowledge, to healing, and to futures shaped by the visions of those most impacted.
