Working at the intersection of public health, media, and culture change, Dr. Regina Davis Moss has dedicated her career to one goal: empowering women and adolescent girls to make healthy decisions in the face of urgent challenges. A health equity, sexuality, and reproductive health expert, she uses her experience in the non-profit sector, private industry, and political arenas to help create communities that welcome and support everyone.
Rooted in social justice, Regina serves as President & CEO of In Our Own Voice: National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda and the In Our Own Voice Action Fund. She is also the Founder of Buna Consulting Group, Inc. Previously, she was Associate Executive Director of Public Health Policy and Practice for the American Public Health Association, providing strategic oversight and leadership on issues from social determinants of health to global health. She has also held senior management positions for health promotion and disease prevention campaigns at the Kaiser Family Foundation and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Regina's work centers on narrative power—developing frameworks, research, and creative partnerships that strengthen how Black women show up in media, culture, and political storytelling. As a narrative strategist, cultural leader, and reproductive justice advocate, Regina bridges research, storytelling, and media to amplify Black women’s voices, transform harmful narratives, and create culturally resonant stories that drive social change. She also leads storytelling projects and mentors creators to elevate justice-centered narratives across media platforms.
An author, producer, and researcher, Regina leverages her unique blend of skills to help people understand and use health information. She is the author of Black Women's Reproductive Health and Sexuality: A Holistic Public Health Approach and has produced original programming, thought-leader commentary, and peer-reviewed research featured in USA Today, CNN, U.S. News & World Report, MSNBC, The Washington Post, The Root, Ms. Magazine, BET, and the American Journal of Public Health, among others.
Regina has traveled extensively throughout the United States, Africa, Europe, and China to speak about women’s reproductive health, maternal and infant mortality, and health equity. She earned a doctorate in maternal and child health from the University of Maryland, College Park, a master’s in public health from George Washington University, and a B.S. in biology from Howard University. She is a master certified health education specialist and a member of the Delta Omega Honorary Public Health Society.
