The Broken Brown Egg is a non-profit founded by Regina Townsend. BBE "exists to inform, empower, and advocate for individuals and couples experiencing infertility and reproductive health issues, with an emphasis on the Black experience of them." The organization started as a blog in 2009. At that time, Townsend was one of the few patient advocates speaking about the Black experience and infertility.

Townsend is a leader in speaking up for Black women and men and their infertility and is a sought-after speaker and media resource. She's been interviewed or quoted in The New York TimesThe Oprah MagazineThe Atlantic, and more. She is an invited speaker on panels, including at the ASRM conference, serves on the international Ferring patient advisory board, is a social media presence, and is a tireless advocate for infertility. Regina Townsend is a committed attendee at RESOLVE's Advocacy Day and uses BBE to encourage her followers to advocate and raise their voices.

In her personal life, Townsend is a librarian and lives on the Southside of Chicago with her husband Jabahri and their son 6-year-old son Judah. Townsend published a book, part memoir, part guide, "Make IF Make Sense" in 2021.
