apparent provocation. We heard about ‘private summers’ (aka hot flashes) but knew little of what they meant.
Changing the Narrative Between Menopause and Black Women
Menopause is real and EVERY woman who lives long enough will experience it. That is an undeniable fact. I aim to change the menopausal narrative so that menopausal women feel dynamic, confident, and vibrant as they enter the menopausal transition.
I want this time period in a woman’s life to be a healthy one as these bodily changes occur. I want any menopausal symptoms to be minimized. I want each and every menopausal woman to see herself as better than she has ever been. I want her to express her uniqueness. I want her to realize that she is wiser and smarter than she has ever been. I want her to exude confidence and to realize the potential that she has. I want her to appreciate who she is and all the wonder that is her.
